I dont claim to be the best parent in the world BUT.....

This makes me FUME and Ive seen it maybe 3 or 4 times in the last few months. Heres how it goes. This is one occassion DH just told me about.

Waitress: Is that car yours?
DH: No.
Waitress: Oh ok there is a baby inside and its crying
DH: Call the Police.

DH goes out to have a look. The windows are down to 'cool' the car. The Waitress comes out while on the phone and across the road comes a lady.

Lady: Oh this is my car, sorry.

She opens the car, gets the pram out, gets the baby out and goes back to what she was doing.

She was getting her nails done!!!! She left her baby in the car to get her nails done then took a baby a few months old back into the salon with her. AGRH I want to shake her and scream WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!

I only wish that they still had the police come and see her in this salon and have a good talk to her.

Makes me so mad!!

It's not only dangerous but also VERY disrespectful to that child I couldn't do that to one of my kids!!!! I don't even do that to our dog!!!

Oh gosh, and with the hot days we've had lately (and certainly more on the way)...

[Calluna]

Oh my goodness! I'm speechless, that's just awful. poor little bub.

[Heaven]

wtf is wrong with people!!

[MummaSue]

OMG, that makes me sick. I would have called the cops anyway.

There was a thread a while ago about the actual legality of leaving kids in the car and someone wrote to the police om their state and asked. I think they said it wasn't exactly illegal if the windows were down and the child wasn't in distress but it's a grey area. Will have to dig it up to confirm tho.
My personal opinion is I think for petrol it's ok...getting your nails done not ok!
