Next time try parenting. A 7 year old doesn't get to decide, you tell them to come with you.

What OP did was fine. I would not let those of you bashing her be in charge of a deep fryer at McDonald’s, and I certainly wouldn’t take any advice you might have to offer up on child rearing.
It was ten minutes.
You weren't there so you don't actually know.
That is what OP stated. You are correct that she could have estimated wrong. The parents that are busted usually underestimate the time they left their child alone.
10 minutes or half an hour. Who cares? They both absolutely qualify as “a short time” over here in non-crazy world.
It's not "a few minutes."
Technically two minutes is also not “a few minutes”. What’s your point?

OP left the engine running. Dumb.
You should probably turn off your circuit breaker and water main whenever you leave your house.
Yes, because my house is on wheels.
Wow. You’re dumb, too.
Why is turning off the engine such a triggering idea for people? Is it somehow against your religion? Does it hurt when you have to turn the key or press the button one more time?
