Why leave the kid in the car at all? My kids go inside with me if the wife isn’t there wanting to stay in the car. Doesn’t matter if I’m going in a store for 2 minutes.
The crazy thing is that the news here in the Midwest tells people each year to put something important, like their phone, in the car seat to remember the kid.
I always assumed that was a notice to people stealing cars from the lot.
You know. Make sure the car with the keys wasn’t left running cuz the kid was sleeping.
Definitely don’t want the 3 kinds of hell for stealing a car with a kid in it. (Cops gonna totally blame you aren’t they PIT lil’ Tommy into the ditch.)
People, if there’s a child in the back seat, and it’s hot out… call the cops.
If the child isn’t moving… pound on the window to try and rouse them. If you can’t…. Go to the opposite front window and break it.
(You’ll have to be creative. It’s not easy to break automotive glass Something hard and concentrated. Or a big ass rock.)
Also, probably preaching to the choir…. But….
DONT LEAVE YOUR KID IN THE FUCKING CAR.
The people that do this aren’t on here.

People on Lemmy can’t afford cars and are too frightened by intimacy to conceive any children
Kids are scary because they remind me of me and I can’t have another one of those bastards running around, muckin about
Lol maybe Reddit. Maybe. Lemmy is too niche, and most of the Linux nerds here are too autistic to breed
Yes they are. And if you think you’re better than these people and couldn’t forget and have a slip up you are wrong.
If you’re an AI, I’m going to call you ChatGPreTarded.
They’re actually right. In most cases people simply forget to put a window down or sometimes that the kid is in the car.
There’s also no need for ableist language like that.

It’s usually they haven’t slept for days and the kid is asleep in the back.
I saw one where they drove past their kids school and went to work.
No one plans to do this. It’s not hugely common but it does happen.
I was left at the supermarket once. These things happen. But sometimes the consequences are just much bigger.
God shut the fuck up.
No u
Splendid job casually tossing hard Rs out there as Linus would say.
Thank you, thank you *takes bow
We hope. Probably preaching to the choir, but even five minutes in 90+, it can get dangerously hot inside a car.
Also, even if it’s not, there’s other dangers. It’s all around just not cool.

It’s not.
