The Parable of the Good Samaritan has the definitive finding on this issue: The Priest and the Levite wouldn’t stop to offer assistance to the Robbery Victim because, if he were possibly dead, they would be ritually contaminated and would have to undergo a number of days’ ritual purification before they could be permitted to perform religious rituals at the heart of their livelihood. It was a foreigner and an heretic, the Samaritan, who exercised the True Virtue of Religion, rendering fidelity to God by caring for his neighbor as for himself. That is the conflict with “The Law” mentioned so much by St. Paul, the New Law of of Love introduced by Jesus to complete the Old Law.
Don’t care what the reason is. You don’t leave your child of that age in the car.
You can’t even drop your kids off at a park for an hour without becoming national news? The kid was 11, not an infant.
