[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the indoors law bit is intended to protect children who are abandoned in various places. Often abused/neglected children have been discovered inside places having been left alone with no food, diaper changes, water and so forth. Often locked up or afraid to go out and seek help, because of criminal activity occurring amongst the adults. I haven't kept up with the current thinking, but it used to be a "red flag" when kids were never seen outside. (this would be because the injuries might be noticed) Then, being left in cars while a parent is in a bar drinking or somewhere buying/using drugs would be the reason kids shouldn't have to look after themselves in such situations. [/quote] I forgot to add that locking kids in somewhere while parents leave for days on end is a favorite habit of child abusers. The law specifically mentions 'locked'.[/quote]
