Aspergers is not necessarily debilitating, and in my early days it was not uncommon to leave young children in the care of 11-12 year olds for an hour or two.

But in a car? That’s just crazy dangerous, especially with so much kidnapping and human trafficking going on. Sure, an alarm might go off to alert the mother, but a kidnapper would be long gone before she got her well-toned butt to the car.
And weather conditions can create lethal circumstances.
Yup. My Mom used to do so with me and my sister when she went shopping. This was from the time I was around 7 and my sister was 5.
It sure beat having to go it the store with her. She wouldn’t let us look at toys or buy anything. AND, while we were in the car, we got to bother people walking by.
The modern world is making special little snowflakes out of our kids.
