When I paid the water bill last week, I left my grandkids (3,5,7) in the truck with a 14 year old.
I parked in the police department parking lot.
Reason has to intrude somewhere in this. Zero tolerance is for idiots.

I don’t know. I don’t leave kids in a hot car because it’s too hot not because of what this stupid government tells me
And I don’t do it
Cars get hot

I've been having the 14 year old twins over because it's summer. They get to learn stuff, whether they like it or not. We watched a documentary on Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer).
He inherited his first fighting force when he was 15. (Really? He was just 15? Like, for real?) Then went on to run the Muslims out of Europe.
Gave the kids a different perspective.
Helicopter parents and public officials are the problem. Not the kids.
I set high expectations.

An 11 year old can take care of it's own basic needs. Eat when it gets hungry, get out of the car if it's too hot...
This is just stupid. The child wasn't endangered based on what was presented.

My Dad taught me to drive when I was 11.

I wouldn't go that far. They grumble a lot. But they mind.
And they can let themselves out of a car if it gets hot.

Johnny, you can be quite obtuse at times but this one is on the mark. Any kid older than 3 that can’t get his ass out of a car is destined to be a low-information voter.

But the 11-yr-old might not be able to unbuckle her car seat and get out if it gets too hot. What, no car seat?!?! Nanny cop will just add that on to the charges.

Well, lets just give all the illegals cars at the Mexican border, then we can arrest their parents for leaving them alone in the car!

RE:”
Police said the interior temperature of the car was about 85 degrees at the time they got to the scene.” ?????
If it was sunny outside that means it was probably 75 deg F outside. Maybe not the best judgement but hardly a crisis,
A 11 year would just get out if there was a problem, its not 11 months old its 11 years.

If a 26 year old is a “child”, then it would stand to reason that an 11 year old is really a 3 year old.

It’s very fortunate that the 11-year old did not have a pop-tart chewed into the shape of a pistol or she may well have not survived the new ZERO TOLERANCE STATISTS.
