Thread Name: BS: Children left behind in cars
Subject: RE: BS: Children left behind in cars
I don't understand it either Wes, but maybe we think of our kids as more than luggage. The guy in Ohio was nearby here and didn't really have an explanation besides, "I just forgot," or words to that effect.
Also saw a strange one last night on the news. A woman was arrested on the Ohio Turnpike for breastfeeding her baby while driving. I had never thought about this one before, but as the child was out of a car seat, she was charged with endangering. I believe she was from Michigan because the news also reported that Michigan law has an exemption that allows women to breastfeed while driving. Are we in so big a rush in this day and age that pulling over is not an option? It gets very cold in Michigan and I think their brains may have frozen up on them.
