I am really not sure where this belongs. Please move if necessary.

What would you do?

My DS has been in kindy for this year. There is a mother there that has two younger kids, and honestly, until recently i didn't even know that she had two others. She leaves them in the car for every kindy drop off and pick up. Obviously during winter she just left them in the car with the windows closed. (as I was unaware that they were in there) Then as the weather has become warmer, she leaves them in the car with the motor running and air con on. She never seems to rush back to the car, and they are clearly out of her line of sight for at least 10 mins at pick up, and probably a bit less for drop off.

It is downright dangerous.

Firstly, you should never leave a child in a car on a hot day, regardless of leaving it running
Second, someone could nick off with the car
Third, what if the hand brake failed or something else and the car took off??!! (i had a friend that was run over by her own car!)


I know another mother and I often take turns waiting in from of our cars. We park next to each other, and I wait by both cars (doors open) while she gets her DD, then she waits while I get DS.

She is the sort of mum that would go nuts on you if you dared say anything, and I have another 7 years with her (at least) within the school system.

Was thinking of contacting the committee and asking to put a note on the door requesting that children should not be left unattended in vehicles.
