The logic behind the sentence given out sounds like a fucking late night infomercial. Also, who just leaves their car running in the street with the keys in the ignition?

    Whilst I agree.

    Victim blaming is wrong…but. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

    A key point in this; Two adults left the car. Why could one not stay?

    I have left my sleeping infant in the car whilst ducking into the supermarket. But the car is in a car park, locked and not running. If it is really hot; you park in the shade and leave the window cracked; you walk the extra 50m to get that park. All of this is only in the event I was alone, if both parents were there one would always stay!

      I’ve never left them. The risk is small but it’s not 0. I figure just take your kids with you.

        Risk/reward ratio for small town New Zealand is something I take into account when making decisions to wake a sleeping baby.

          Oh yes, that’s a good point location matters. I was in a big city in the USA, more to fear there for sure.
