To think there is no excuse to leave a baby in a hot car?

Especially when there are two adults available!

I don't understand why anyone would think this is acceptable. Poor baby.

I thought exactly the same when I heard this story on the radio.

Well aren't they shitheads! Stupid ones at that!

I can only think those parents are incredibly thick.

clarrrp · 08/06/2016 19:22

Fucking hell. Some people shouldn't have kids.

Aeroflotgirl · 08/06/2016 19:24

There are some people who really should not reproduce.

Queenbean · 08/06/2016 19:25

That's hideous. Children have died in the past because of this.

FuckingFattyBitch · 08/06/2016 19:25

There's some fuckwits about.

Pinkheart5915 · 08/06/2016 19:28

There really is no excuse, some parents really have no idea.

30 minutes in a car in 25C poor little baby Sad

thrillhouse · 08/06/2016 19:28

After reading about people who've accidentally forgotten their children in hot cars this is absolutely heartbreaking. How the fuck could you do this on purpose.

If you see a baby locked in a hot car, is the best thing to call emergency services, or try to break the window? Car windows can be broken, right?

Wolfiefan · 08/06/2016 19:34

I wouldn't break a window for fear of the owner of the car coming back and smacking me or having me done for damage to their property.
Call 999

NeedACleverNN · 08/06/2016 19:35

Well it doesn't surprise me

People leave their dogs in the car all the time. A baby is not far off in some people's minds

Poor little mite. I hope he's ok

I would do the same thing I would do with a dog in distress

Call 999 so they are aware and then smash the window

The police are already on their way so if the owner comes back they can deal with them. I would rather get a telling off from the police then watch a baby or a dog die

LyndaNotLinda · 08/06/2016 19:37

You don't need to be very bright to reproduce sadly

Zazz101 · 08/06/2016 19:39

And yet a similar post about a lady that went into a post office and left her child in a car, well she seemed to get a lot of support !! I cannot understand why anyone would leave a child un- attended even for a minute. Things go wrong very quickly.

With that one Zazz the child was 3-4 years old and the woman was only 5 mins.

This was a baby and the parents were gone for 30 mins! Big difference

Buckinbronco · 08/06/2016 19:47

Call 999 don't smash the window last thing baby needs is shards of glass over it

I don't think this case is about education- they just didn't care

Buckinbronco · 08/06/2016 19:48

Or- they forgot to Take the baby out. That happens

NeedACleverNN · 08/06/2016 19:49

Depends how long the police would take to get to you bronco

Time matters. And you could smash the front window, open the front door, reach round and unlock the back door. No smashing glass near the baby

Buckinbronco · 08/06/2016 19:50

The police could advise you on that dependant on the specific circumstances. They know what they're doing
