I was in court a few years ago and saw 3 little boys in a car (a baby, a 3yo, and a 6yo or so). It was very warm out, but not summer. I reported them to an officer in the courthouse who said that so long as the window was rolled down for air, it was fine. (!!!!!!?????) I'm sure the kids were fine, but what if mom/dad had been in court all day and left them? What if someone ripped off the car (the window was rolled down for easy theft, after all)? Who the hell leaves 3 little kids alone like that?
