Mother arrested for leaving children in Car.

Yes this is true but, there was a time when people just did not know the dangers involved with leaving kids in cars. In this particular story the state laws forbid leaving minor children in cars... never mind the extra danger involved due to heat. This crime is so widely publicized these days; there is no excuse for it.

To me the fact that a 22 y/o has that many children is almost as shocking as hearing about her stupidity in parenting said children.

I wasn't just meaning leaving kids in a car , there has been numerous ways down through history that parents have purposely endangered thier kids knowing full well it was dangerous. I am sure that leaving a child or children in a car is illegal in all 50 states .I totally agree, there is no excuse for it. The only thing that could make this story worse is if it comes out that the mother has been under investigation for child abuse or endangerment by the CPS .

The same thing happened close to Vancouver recently but the parent was a father. He left his two children, one who was only 14 months old in a car in the sweltering heat. What was he doing? He stopped into a pub to knock back some beer.

The kids were found screaming and crying and treated at the hospital. I do not know if he was arrested but I do know he lost custody of his children --- at least temporarily. The Ministry of Social Services removed the children from his home and placed them with a relative. Not much has been said about the mother.
