How many of them were cases where the parent was only away for a few moments, and had the vehicle in plain sight the whole time?

[TruthConquers]

And how many have been prosecuted?

Most don’t seem to get anything. But this lady is hauled away and her three children left at the store, UNATTENDED.

Yeah, that was the right thing to do.

And I’m one of those mom’s who didn’t like to leave my baby in the car while I paid for my gas. Dad would fill my car up for me instead. What a guy!

Where the parents were a few feet away and able to observe the vehicle?

There was probably tens of thousands of incidents.

I didn't know I was being watched so intently but 300 of those incidents were mine. Do it almost every day. Didn't know it was a crime. IS there anything left that isn't a crime?

Define "left unattended." I don't think a period of "unattended" begins until the guardian actually leaves the vicinity of the car.

No. There were 900 recorded incidents. My guess is that the actual number of occurrences was several orders of magnitude higher.

So the inference the government wants you to draw, that 2/9 such children die, is false.
