[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never call the police on someone for this (I mean, you can see the mom right there; just stand by the car until she returns if you're worried) but I would never do it either.  People are laughing about carjackings but it's actually happening quite a lot in DC right now, and there are many instances of a baby or kid being in the car and the criminals take off anyway.  If you're leaving the car running it's at risk for being taken, if you're not it gets hot, etc.  Interfering with the habit of always grabbing the baby is reason 2 for me.

I think it's weird that your daycare can't task some administrative person with helping out walking kids in during this dropoff hour for parents with multiple kids, but I also get that daycares seem to write their own rules around here and charge whatever they want while they're at it.[/quote]

You would NEVER leave your baby in the car for 30 seconds while you walk your child 30 feet in a secure area with your keys out of the car?? This blows my mind. The baby is not going to be impacted by heat in a car that was air conditioned literally 30 seconds ago in the 60 seconds it takes to hand over kids. Why oh why must we make everything so difficult. It does not sound like op is on a random DC street. Much more likely in a suburban parking lot…[/quote]
