Depends on a lot of things - Ages, weather, time frames, place where parents are going, etc. leaving a 2 month old outside for 3 hours in 100 degree heat to go to the strip club is different than leaving an 11 year old for ten minutes in 70 degree weather to grab some hot dog buns at the grocery.
what? the temp inside a care can get over 50 Celsius or over 130 Fahrenheit in a few minutes. You try getting locked in an oven for 10 minutes. One kid every 9 days is killed in the US by their idiot parents leaving them in the car for a few minutes while the sun roasts them alive.
ya it sucks having to take them out and with you into the store so lets just take a chance they will not die. ##)
Teaching independence in baby steps. I have a 12 year-old daughter. She rides a little out of view on her bike now. She stays home alone for an hour or so. She's given the liberty/responsibility to go out in the world with less supervision. We don't want her first experience with that at18 when she goes to the dorms. Her naivete will get her in trouble.
no doubt man. I guess when I hear of kids being left in cars in the heat I equate them being infants in car seats mostly. Ones that can open windows themselves. Dogs also.

Two women play slots while children left in running car outside casino, police say
By Melhor Leonor, Sun Sentinel
6:54 p.m. EDT, July 15, 2013
While two South Florida women played the slots late Sunday evening, their children waited in a running car parked outside the casino, authorities say.
Sisters Romanie Pierre, 31, and Malory Pierre, 27, of North Miami, drove to Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach with two boys and two girls — ages 8, 5, 4 and 2 — in the car, according Broward Judge John "Jay" Hurley, who read from the arrest report during a bond hearing Monday.
A customer at the casino noticed the children sitting in the car for 20 to 30 minutes and called 911, Hurley said.
Hallandale Police arrested both women, who appeared in court Monday morning on four counts each of child neglect. The sisters are being held at the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach, with bond set at $4,000 each.
When police arrived at the casino, the oldest child unlocked the vehicle and told police her "stepmother and her sister went inside and left us here."
The women told police they had gone to use the restroom, but a quick investigation revealed the women had checked in to the Players' Club and were gambling inside.
The vehicle was parked 250 feet from the entrance of the casino.
The children were not harmed and are currently under the care of their grandmother.
Initially ordered to stay away from all four children, both women now will be allowed contact with the children.
"Hopefully these two have been scared and … shocked into coming to their senses that what they have allegedly done is extremely poor judgment, and I'm not going to take their kids away," Hurley said in court.
In South Florida, it isn't only children who are left in parking lots to wait on gamblers.
In February 2012, a 95-year-old woman was left outside Seminole Casino Coconut Creek for two hours by her caretaker until a visitor called police.
The woman was left alone without food, drink or a cellphone, according to the arrest report. The woman was not hurt. The caretaker, Mary Holly, 53, from Boca Raton, was arrested and charged with neglect of an elderly person.
