DC parents leave kids in car for wine tasting

[Anonymous]

What line of work is the mom in?

Could it be possible they were drunk when they got there and totally forgot kids were in car since they were knocked out sleeping?

Do I think the arrest and charges are extreme? Yes. Would I ever put myself in this situation? Hell no! There really is no alternate reality where this is somewhat acceptable, truly. I'm hoping for no jail time for them, but a major wake up call for shitty parenting.

If they were black and poor and at a bar, you'd be on here condemning them, no? They race and high SE status makes you forgive their "mistake", doesn't it?

the arrest and charges are not extreme. Now, taking their kids away or putting them in foster care might be extreme, but not a major fine or jail time, and maybe some parenting classes.

I've said this before - if it was a low invoke black family, you would advocate for the children to be taken away. So why not here? This is a HUGE lapse in judgement! If this were a critical event (which clearly it wasn't), either you take the kids with you and park them in a stroller and stay briefly or trade time with your spouse going in/out. NO ONE should leave their kids in a locked parked car on a cold night while the parebts go drink! Even in Europe, kids are brought in their strollers to the front of the restaurant, where they can be watched!

For the love of God, this was neglect at BESt and the tip of the iceberg if abuse, at best.

I bet the kids were sleeping when they left them there and they woke up. And I think the fact that they were so brazen about this--doing it in an urban area where anyone could walk by--is a pretty good indicator that they've done it before. And worse. You don't just start doing this when your kids are 2.

Is she a foreigner and this is accepted practice in her home country?

So who DRIVES to attend a wine tasting? Looks like they planned on driving their car home afterwards too.

Something seriously wrong with these people.

According to PP's link, they live 4 blocks away.
