HAVE PEOPLE NOTGRASPED THE FACT THAT YOU SHOULD NOT LEAVE KIDS INSIDE OF CARS?
If I can't stand to sit my grown ass outside in a car in the heat, what makes people think that a kid can do it? I have the ability to roll down the windows, turn on the A/C, etc. Kids can't do that. I have an example. One day, my battery died in my car while I was at the post office. So, until someone came, I sat in the car. I had all of the windows DOWN and I was still sweltering. I was sweating and everything. The sun was beating down on everything outside. Here I am, sitting in the car and thinking that I was protecting myself from the sun. Well, I get out to stretch my legs and I SWEAR it felt 10 degrees cooler OUTSIDE.
People think that they are saving their children from being kidnapped by winding up all the windows. Well, I would rather take that risk than to allow my child to die a horrible death from heat exhaustion. The child also has a chance to scream, beg for help, get rescued, or something. Here's something else that's crazy: My downstairs neighbor was leaving out at the same time as I was one day. She started up the car and turned the A/C on full blast. She then strapped her kid into the carseat, and proceeded to go back inside to get more things. I watched her do all of this. I lingered in my parking space for as longs as I could (about 3-5 minutes) just to see when she would come back out. She hadn't by the time I had to leave!

As least she did leave the A/C on for the girl, but who's to say that would be enough?
