BTW this story occurred about 15 miles away from my home. My nearest town is Lancaster. It was HOT yesterday (as it is every day out here).

Mears: Haredim are Orthodox Jews.

Alouette - get a load of post 9.

I can't imagine a normal five year old being unable to get out of a car.

When I was four, I unlocked the car door and opened it. While the car was on the freeway.

My grandmother instantly reached over with one hand, yanked me over the back seat and into the front, and gave me a serious spanking.

[wideawake]

Oh - I guess you already saw it.

It is quite the pant load.

Back doors now have safety locks on them to prevent those on the inside from opening them. The child may have tried, but gave up before trying the front doors. Sad.

Was not his mother. He was in foster care.

[Mary's Child]

What kind of person who was taking care of children would not even check on them for five hours!

She is a foster mother? Not anymore I hope!

Or is Smoot simply a liar?

Right. Smoot: "Who ya gonna believe? Me, or the deputies?"

While you are showering me with flames, Mr. Religious Jew, please enlighten us as to why the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE. I would love to hear your insights.

It was because of the same sinat hinom (unjustified hatred) EXPRESSED BY YOU in your nasty posts, your bigoted stereotyping of an entire group of people as though these identical tragedies never ever happen to anyone else, and then topping it off by insulting me for not agreeing with you.

As for calling me a "Welfare Bum" NotaCookie, at the same time whining that I "flamed you", I'm an educated professional who is CONSTANTLY hustling for contract jobs because the IT industry sucks so bad. I don't take handouts and I am continuously struggling to find a job. You owe me an apology.

Pat Robertson is not an anti-Semite and he is not a bad man. Proseltyzing for his religion is a requirement of his faith. It is not his fault that some of the liberal denominations of Judaism fail to provide their members with enough scriptural expertise to counter the arguments of a missionary.

You probably did not bother to read the Jerusalem Post article I linked to either.

I am surprised, but you all missed it.

She left the kids in the truck ON PURPOSE. Left them there for her husband to PICK UP> Used the car as a temporary play pen. (holding pen)

Also; the five year old, if in his car seat, probably couldnt unfasten the seat belt. If tight, they can be difficult for an adult to unfasten.

Shoot the B****

"The charge is MURDER."

Not to put too fine a point on it, but since there was no intent to kill, she'll probably be charged with manslaughter (reckless disregard of human life).

[Chemist_Geek]

gee none of this would have happened if the lady just drove one of those electric hybrids /sarc

I know you marked it, but I'm curious why you decided to throw that in.

Electric hybrids are superior in many ways - fuel efficiency, emissions, etc. - to the SUV in which these boys died.

No one, however, ever says that electric hybrids will prevent stupid adults from harming children. Did your comment just come from your hatred of hybrids?
