[b]Good parents can make mistakes sometimes. Perhaps these people only meant to leave the kids in the car for a few minutes, got caught up in the party and forgot about them. It happens.[/b]

And people who get so crazed about other people's parenting errors are often terrible parents in other ways, so "he who is without sin..."

I'd never leave a kid in a car in this weather though.... Now that is pretty stupid.

I'd like to be charitable to these parents, though. It seems they are being judged very harshly. Everyone makes stupid mistakes, even very smart people.

No, it doesn't.  Good parents would have the sense to not leave the kids alone in the car in the first place.[/quote]

it was a wine tasting. not an emergency or an urgent errand.[/quote]

+1. This isn't -- I ran inside to CVS to pick up a prescription and didn't want to move a sick sleeping baby, and it took 5 extra min bc the line was huge OR I saw a few things on sale and ended up grabbing them too and that added 5 min. People feel guilty and nervous enough when they do that as they are picturing something awful happening to their kid. An HOUR? Just chit chatting with others and drinking wine and not wondering at all what may be going on with your kids? And I saw this as someone who isn't even a kid person and think people tend to blow kid safety issues out of proportion these days.[/quote]

This is NOT a stupid mistake.  This is a case of neglect.  Who knows how long those kids would've been in the car if the cops hadn't been called?  Another hour?  At what temp does hypothermia set in for a toddler in a below freezing temp car?  What if they had passed out and the dumbshit parents thought "oh good, they're sleeping now, we can stay for another flight".  I can never ever imagine making the decision these two made.   Those kids deserve a loving and safe home.  Full stop.  And it's not with these two wingnuts.  [/quote]
