Putting the boy in the trunk was a bad idea. But giving the aunt a year in prison would cause far more harm to the boy than being in the trunk would cause.

She should have known the inevitable results. I guess she figured she could get away with it.
She didn’t.

The better solution would have been.....No water rides for you.....OR....Bring extra clothes....OR...stay home. The aunt is a dumb twit...

I'm with the cops on this one. Putting a kid in a trunk during a warm weather month is potentially life-threatening.
That said, for a first offense and with the kid OK, I doubt she will do any time.

I hope they never find out about the few hundred miles I put on in the back of a pickup truck fifty years ago or so. It was how we cooled off on summer evenings back then. Dirt roads were our favorite. Lots of bouncing.

McCarty faces up to a year in prison and a $3,000 fine if convicted. Ridiculous.

There is no situation so bad that government cannot make much, much worse.

Perhaps it’s now illegal to ride in the rumble seat of a pre-WWII car.

She said when he told her he was getting warm in the trunk, the air vents were adjusted to aim directly at the console hole.
A couple of months ago I was rear-ended at a red light. Car ended up totalled, but I was able to unbuckle my seat belt and walk away. The odds of doing that if I'd been forced into the trunk are somewhat less.
Unless you're Joe Pesci and someone has told you to go get your shoe-shine box, you have no business putting anyone in the trunk of a car.

Edina is one of the ritziest neighborhoods in the Twin Cities Metro. Methinks she will get off with a warning.
Cheers!

And how would water harm leather? The host animals probably were left out in the rain a lot.

A better solution would be to just cut the kid’s water rides off at the right point... he’s not in charge, she is. Or he could walk home.
