i hate stories like this....a week ago on the news there was a lady who has 6 kids and only had custody of the youngest who was 7 months old or younger..well she left him home alone and went to the store to buy some stuff...the store was in eye sight of her apt.she asked the down stairs neighbor to keep a ear out and make sure no one went into her apt....all 5 of the other kids are in state custody and she is preggers with #7..well any how dss (state child services) went to her house for a random visit and found the house a mess baby alone and cleaning supplies and toxins scattered all over the floor where the baby can get at it...neighbors say she does this all the time...then she was crying because the state took this baby also....i was pissed...how can these people leave children????? another lady left her kids in the car while she went into toysRus.....i mean give me a break.it isnt that hard to get the kid out of the car and plop them into the shopping cart!!!! this shit really gets under my skin.I think all of these mothers should be punished to me it is like attempted murder...the heat could kill these kids, another car can smash into the parked car, some one could kid nap them, etc...........
