It is illegal in some states to intentionally leave a young child in the car. That is not what the criminality discussion is about.

  So it's just about Nevada and Texas? These are the only states where unintentionally leaving a child in the vehicle is allowed.

    You're saying they actually have a law on the books saying it's okay to do it accidentally? Why would someone write a law to say an accident is an accident?

      >You're saying they actually have a law on the books saying it's okay to do it accidentally? Don't take my word, here they are: Nevada: A parent, legal guardian or other person responsible for a child who is 7 years of age or younger shall not knowingly and intentionally leave that child in a motor vehicle if: Texas: A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly leaves a child in a motor vehicle for longer than five minutes
