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

I do think accidents can happen. I have 4 children and nothing like leaving them in a car unattended/forget them has ever happened to me. But I still think it can (devastatingly happen). With that said..I noticed a young lady in a local convenience store I frequent. It was a very hot day. She was carrying her pet lizard in a plastic carrying with her in the store. And I said to her "I'm impressed (and applaud you), you wouldn't leave ur lizard in the hot car for just a few moments while you ran into to the store?"..and she said "definitely not never "..

So...I think its hard for people to understand mistakes when such a disparity (that we all have some experience with exsists)..Its awful, and again I have no 1st or 2nd or 3rd hand experience with "hot car accidents " in my life. But I do truly believe horrifying accidents happen.
