leaving a sleeping baby/toddler in the car..? - Debates

*emILY. · 10-27-2009, 11:38 AM

This is kinda a S/O of another thread, but..

If you child/toddler ended up falling asleep in the car, would you leave them in there while you go into, say, your mother in laws? Or a friends house?

I mean, with the window open and in a distance that you can see/hear them cry if they wake up. I'm not talking about leaving them in the car for hours while you're at the mall or something, I'm saying someone's house, while the car is in the driveway.

Debate/discuss.

No i would not.

Heather LB. · 10-27-2009, 11:40 AM

No, I wouldn't leave my child in the car alone.

Amanda. · 10-27-2009, 11:41 AM

never. under no circumstances.

*Mackenzie* · 10-27-2009, 11:41 AM

Majorly depends on the tempture and the surrounding area. More then likely I would not.

Gillian_Angela · 10-27-2009, 11:42 AM

no way in hell would I do that

Maybe if you were just running in to drop something off, but other than that I say no.

If I was going to go into the house/location, hell freaking no, and im pretty sure leaving a young child in the car for any amount of time is illegal in most states...

If I was running up to the door and not going in, would depend on the age, temp, and how far the door was

No.

If my son is going to wake up from a nap, he wakes up as soon as the car is turned off. Otherwise, I can just bring him in the house, and lie him down and he'll continue with a nap. As an infant, I'd just bring the carrier in.

ETA.. I wouldn't leave him even if he did wake up. It's far to risky, and also illegal.

I can understand a garage, but not a driveway!

It ends by her winning from God a respite of suffering every year from Good Friday till Trinity day, and the sinners at once raise a cry of thankfulness from Hell, chanting, 'Thou art just, O Lord, in this judgment.'-The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky
