Just wanted to know what the "proper" situation is with this as there seems to be no guidlines.

Is it ok to leave a baby in the car if fast asleep?

Is it ok to leave toddler in the car if happy?

Not including summer months when it is boiling of course, when you wouldn't or you make sure windows left open (which would present another risk as sm could get in).

Is there a "rule" that its ok to pop in to the local shop for milk, say, but not elsewhere (to leave in large supermarket car park), I don't mean to do an hours shopping, just for a couple of bits?

Just out of interest. Is it just your own judgement? My DS comes with me, but just wondered if it is supposedly ok to leave them too???

no word of a lie, i have seriously thought about how i can convert one of those retractable doggy leads to attach to my DS.

he is too big for reins but is a nightamre when we go out for just wandering off.

maybe a safety pin is the answer

What's the world coming to? Reprimanded for leaving an 11 and 13 year old in a car. They walk to school at that age alone (well mine did) surely? How come that's OK.

Oh don't tell me.......it's not!

I used to leave my eldest outside the local shop in his buggy. Mind you it was 18 years ago.

pedofiles on every street corner make me laugh

do they also have a soapbox or something?

or do they stand around smoking fags and drinking beer a la king of the hill?

and why have I never seen one?

do they not wear t-shirts and horns or summat? shock horror surely most peodophiles are not known to their victims, oh no, surely not...

"He was such a quiet man"

100PerCentCod · 14/01/2007 14:08

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 14/01/2007 14:08

I do know what you mean Cod......ds2 has a bloke on his paper-round who looks like one. He's probably a lovely bloke......

Fillyjonk · 14/01/2007 14:09

have met pedofiles in real life

they are usually well groomed and immaculate with RP accents

But one thing they do often have is facial hair

might be just south wales though

not sure why that should be

100PerCentCod · 14/01/2007 14:10

yes me too. facial hair si a common denominator
Gree

Fillyjonk · 14/01/2007 14:10

though that is immaculate in a new look menswear sense

colditz · 14/01/2007 14:10

central casting LMAO!

100PerCentCod · 14/01/2007 14:11

SO the anser is do not leave them in the car if there is a beardy welshman around,.

nutcracker · 14/01/2007 14:12

Well I don't drive yet, but when I do I will definatly be leaving them in the car to pay for petrol, go to the cash point and pop in local shop.

MamazonAKAfatty · 14/01/2007 14:15

Of course they lok like peadophiles, they were Shirts that say "i heart boys" and everything.

But your right on the whole those who are found out to be Peedofiles (snurk) are the ones that people will look at and say " i never realised but now you mention it...."

trust your gut, thats what i always say. maternal intuition is astounding

Fillyjonk · 14/01/2007 14:16

i'll tell you what else about them

they're short

100PerCentCod · 14/01/2007 14:17

MamazonAKAfatty · 14/01/2007 14:17

and they all have brown hair

Fillyjonk · 14/01/2007 14:19

oh no fatty, now I must take issue with that

I remember one guy with the absolute most revolting tighly curled gingery hair. It looked like one of those unhealthy cornish cats.

so you mustn't make such sweeping generalisations, you see
