[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Illegal to leave kids under 8 in a car alone (in MD). Guard was right. [/quote] It's only illegal if the car was locked. MD law assumes that children under age 8 can't unlock to exit in an emergency. That said, as PPs have said, with carjacking, if the car was running I wouldn't have left the car unlocked. [/quote] No, the law is locked [i]or[/i] confined in a home, car, or enclosure. Not "only if the car is locked" - they're including the idea of locking a kid into a room or (god forbid) smaller enclosure inside of a house with that language. OP's kid was alone, confined in a car, under the age of 8. If in MD, that was a crime.[/quote]
