The scariest thing... (leaving children in car alone)

The non jews do it too, I regularly see kids in cars or the shoplady tells me "just leave the stroller outside, don't be annoyed by dragging it along"... errr sorry, I drag it along anyway...
If the stroller don't fit, maybe you're in a mall where you can get caddies and you just put the kid in it - of course this is not before what... 4 or 5 months?

If you're just browsing and it's a small kid, you can hold it.

Of course the risk is tiny! but why take it??

Prison I disagree it's not a danger! it's full of dangerous violent people, and many may be of ethnicities that often hate Jews. Who cares if you get kosher food and rabbi visits if you're beaten up or more??
Also, don't you know prisons are 3 or 4 times too crowded, dirty, and there are cases of torture??

I was reading about this. She has sued the police department.

While she was sitting in the police car handcuffed, her two older children were left sitting alone inside Walmart.

Did anyone read the letter in the BInah this week about the woman who left her kids with a monitor at the neighbors? I am 1000% anti monitor, and just dont leave my house if there isnt an adult present IN MY HOUSE. when I read this letter, I cried!

I didn't read it. Can you summarize?

Step number one: if people won’t start walking around the block with strollers as a scare tactic, mothers will continue to leave their kids in the front. Ever notice how they take their pocketbooks and leave their babies? I wonder what’s more of a priority.

Finally, I know the original story was about an 8 year old, but I know of an 11 year old who was left in the car for just a ‘minute’. He wanted to yell after the father for a second so he got up and rested his knees on the armrest of the door so he can see over the half/opened window. When he was in that position, his knee bumped the window button and the window went up, strangling his head. His father was greeted with a gruesome site 4 minutes later when he came out of the store. A blue head hanging out.

Need I say more?

My own husband left my 2 year sleeping in his car today! She fell asleep and he was on his phone while exiting the car. I should also mention that he has never taken the baby anywhere without any other kids in the car. He didn't even notice until I got to his store and asked where the baby was. She was B"H fast asleep and it's B"H cold outside. She was alone for close to 1/2 hour, from 6:00-6:30. We are both still shaking.
