Do you think one can leave a baby in the car and not be a bad parent?

I wonder if this was also an issue in past decades..

Saw such case on news this morning. Mom, sister and 6 year old child went in the store....but left baby..

Is that possible?
Accident?
Neglect?

The baby was found alive and was in car 50 minutes

No. I was really, really wrenched if I had to leave my DOGS in the car...even with the windows cracked...to run into a store for 5 minutes and run right out. I felt like a HORRIBLE dog mother, and even though it was only 5 minutes my dogs could have been stolen.

I would sooner chop off my hand than leave my baby in the car alone, even if the baby was sleeping and it was not hot out. I have had to wake up my son and he was a screamer! He would start screaming and just wouldn't stop if you woke him up.

But this is the middle of summer. What kind of idiot...after hearing ALL the horror stories and the arrests of parents who leave their baby in the car and the baby DIES...what kind of idiot would DO that?

And didn't this idiot think for one minute that babies are worth about $10,000 each on the black market?

SMH. Just SMH.
