[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is a MoCo police officer and also a Dad who has lost a DD to cancer. Parents who do anything that stress or put a child at a preventable risk, including those leave their children in their cars are a particular trigger for him and I promise you if he saw this, this large, fierce looking AA man (totally teddy bear in reality) would have zero sympathy for your excusing yourself for all the reasons stated above for why its OK to do this. He's told us how at least three times when off duty he's come upon kids in cars in Giant parking lots and stands there until parents return and reads them riot act. He has called in once but it mostly breaks his heart that anyone thinks that they are immune from the luck lottery and take the risk. He isn't looking to punish parents (which would punish the kids) but I don't think he'd hesitate if he thought his concerns were dismissed.  [/quote]

Driving anywhere with a child where you may get into an auto accident is a preventable risk.  Removing them from the car, where there are other moving cars around a parking lot who might hit you, is a preventable risk.  Carrying a baby while wrangling a toddler in and out of a building where you may drop the baby, is a preventable risk. You prevent those risks by leaving the baby at home...or in the car.  I'm sorry that your friend lost his dd to cancer, but that simply does not equate to leaving a sleeping baby in a climate controlled car.  He's letting his personal experience cloud his professional judgment.  [/quote]
