[quote=Anonymous]Holy Mackerel.  This is why the parenting is hard thread exists.  Give this woman a break.  You all are screaming the child was in trouble, but she wasn't.  The mom didn't inadvertently leave her in the car.  She didn't leave her in a hot car.  She left her in a car that was on, with the a/c running.  The only fear is an active carjacking, and frankly, I am not sure a day care parking lot at pick up time is prime carjacking time.

The mom was gone 2 minutes, not twenty.  She obviously weighed the risks and chose the path she chose.  Now, if there is a daycare policy against it, that is one thing, but I am going to guess that this is not the first or last time any mother anywhere is going to do this.

All of you need to calm down, stop screaming at each other and let it go.

OP, it is nice that you are concerned, but I think you are confusing a baby left unattended in a hot car with a baby left for 120 seconds in an air conditioned car with mom 20 feet away and well aware of her child's condition who maybe just needed an extra set of eyes.  Wouldn't it be great is someone, maybe day care staff, or another mom, would have just said "i'll keep an eye on the baby" for you?  No one did.  The mom therefrom chose her best option and did what she needed to do.[/quote]
