gypsykisses: not all are irresponsible parents, but far too many...
parents need to stop leaving their children in the car in the summertime to roast---that is so absent minded, or abusive---depending on your point of view.
It happens every summer
That is just downright stupid, reckless and dangerous, negelctful, abusive behaviour. There is no need for that to happen.
There are many areas where a child can be neglected and ill cared for, some that happen are because of fear, depression and illness, but leaving a child to roast in a car, is reckless behaviour.
