[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if the mom is foreign but there are countries where it’s totally normal and safe to leave babies outside stores, in the cold too. [/quote]

I highly doubt this was a Finnish national leaving their baby in the car. [/quote]

Who said anything about Finland? BTW, it absolutely could have been a Finnish national/diplo. My first thought was this is not an American woman. I don’t know why, it’s not like no American woman has ever done this- it just hit me that way.[/quote]

PP is referring to the custom of Finnish parents leaving children in their strollers/prams outside of stores and restaurants so they can nap outside. There is a long belief that napping in the cold air is healthy for babies so the parents will even do this outside their own house. No one in Finland runs up and takes the stroller with the napping baby laying in it (in order to steal the stroller).

But this isn’t even a somewhat close comparison to what happened. Posters should not just make up wild conspiracies. [/quote]
