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

Without knowing the all the conditions it may be the best place to leave the baby. Let us assume it is a small town and the job is to check the mail at the local mail box and it is 40 below. The best place for the baby is likely in the nice warm car instead of it getting frost bite. If the baby is to be left for any length of time and is in danger of overheat or cold.... It is best to take the baby out of the car.
