Leaving your children in a car?

[Chickie]

Years ago, parents did leave their children in the car for a quick minute or two here and there, but in the world we live in today, it is just not safe. There are too many predators to worry about. I think when a child is closer to being a teen, that is when they are mature enough to know to stay in the car, keep it locked and not talk to strangers - not to mention use a cell phone to call if there is an emergency.

Also, you have the issue of the child over-heating in the summer or freezing in the winter. I think the best policy is to just be safe and take your child(ren) with you no matter what until they are older.
