This is just so patently absurd. The legal issue seems to revolve around "rendering the child in need of services". A child alone in a car for 5 minutes on a mild day is not in need of services. The case should be thrown out right there.

- harimau 12y agoShe didn't mention it, but nothing is really 'free' about this. With court costs, lawyers, time spent doing community service, and other miscellaneous stuff I wonder how much it cost her total. Not to mention a year or so of stress worrying about it and the obvious lingering effects of the decision. A large portion of people most likely would not have been able to round up the resources she did nor have the support and get screwed by this type of stuff. It's good that she's bringing the subject to light but, being a seemingly local law, and one that you might not know about until it's being thrown at you, it seems more likely it will continue to harm parents just getting by.
