Can you say "death penalty"? I see no reason for those adults to continue
breathing.

It seems there's a story just like this one every week. Where the hell do
these people come from?

People like this shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

The gutter, apparently. A few years back a woman in this area was arrested
after she left her young child in a locked car on a very hot day while she
spent a few hours in a bar. In that instance I don't think the child died,
although they often do in situations like this. Hell, I wouldn't even leave
my *dog* (when I had one) in a car with the windows cracked while I ran into
a store to pick up a few items. It's just nuts! We all know how hot it
gets inside a parked car.

Obviously he's being facetious.

I think I need to tone down my sick sense of humor. This past weekend, my
son drove us to a few stores so he could get yet MORE clothing, and the last
stop was the grocery store. He loves food, but he hates grocery stores, so
he stayed out in the car, listening to music and yakking to his girlfriend
on the cell phone. While I was in the store, my cell phone rang. I wanted to
get out of the store fast, so I told the person on the other end "Let me
call you back in a few. I'm in Wegman's, and I left the baby in the car".
The person knows my son's 18. But, the lady standing about 10 feet away gave
me SUCH a look! :-)

Or, not :-) I guess context is important.

Can you say "death penalty"? I see no reason for those adults to continue
breathing.

For what? Whom did they kill?

They attempted to kill the child. You know that. It was intentional.

Folks like that don't do much that's intentional.

Well, I'll admit that I have an odd set of rules for people who threaten the
safety of kids. This is the rule: No matter what the mind did or did not
think, the body took the action. The body should be terminated. This is what
mother bears do when cubs are threatened, and mother bears are much smarter
than humans.

How times have changed. I think what they did was wrong. It used to be
safe to leave a child in the car.

I used to regularly threaten my kids if they didn't behave in the
stupidmarket they would have to wait in the car. This was in the mid
60's. Couldn't do that any more!

Relative to the possibility of kidnapping or worse, it might've been safer.
But, in terms of heat, it was never safe.

Kids that die in hot cars are referred to as "Lil' Sizzlers"...

I grew up in Florida in the late 1950's and the 1960's. It was *nothing* to
be left unattended in the car; in fact, when given the choice, my younger
sister preferred to wait in the car rather than being dragged to whatever
mind-numbing activity my parents had in mind. Temperatures were usually in
the nineties in the summertime. So what? We lived in a hot climate; we were
acclimated to it. The story clearly states that the temperature in Ringgold
was in the eighties that day -- not even CLOSE to unhealthy.

Yeah, the kid was sweating: It was hot, but not dangerously so.

A car parked in the sun when it's 90 can easily reach 120 to 140
degrees. This is heat stroke temperature, and isn't just dangerous, it
could be fatal. 235 kids have died from this since 1998:

Simpler solution-don't have kids.

There have been who knows how many incidents of children dying after being
left in daycare vans. The daycare workers didn't bother to check to make
sure all the kids were off the van. In the last 10 years it's been a major
problem in Memphis.
