A car you don't leave them even for 2 minutes.
The whole front of our shop has been destroyed when DC's aged 8,5 and 3 where messing in a car while their Dad came into pay, The DC got out of their seats and were play fighting and knocked the gears out of park , (car has no actual handbrake but a button thing)The car rolled straight into a bin, hitting a window and double glass door. Dc are ok but car front and shop are in shit. Thankfully no one was walking in front of the car or inside the door/window. The Dad said oops oh well no one was hurt he was shocked I asked for his insurance detailsHmm I am stuck at work having had to beg my child minder to stay on while I wait for soneone to try and make the shop exterior secure. All the petrol pumps had to be turned off as well as the car glanced off a pump.
The DC Dad cannot see why we are so angry as Kids will be kidsAngry i should be at home with wineSad

It's more about taking responsibility though Brioche. Clearly, the children are to 'blame' for the accident since they caused it, however they are children do it is their father's responsibility to remedy the situation.

Accidents do happen, that doesn't mean you get to cop out of being a decent human being and accepting fault and putting it right.

You can't even leave a DOG alone on a car in California. It's been that way for about 20 yrs.
