Regardless I still wouldn't confront a parent and that was the point. And she was doing nothing wrong. People need to mind their business unless there is a real danger and a confrontation will make an impact. As Nell said, confronting a parent isnt going to make them say omg you are so right thanks goodness you pointed out what I purposely did. My hero, you're an angel.
ETA: why would the mom have to lie even of he was 10 its not a big deal? She had nothing to prove to a perfect stranger who was stalking her car.
This is the crux of it. Not whether leaving the kids alone was right or wrong, but saying something to the mom.
I’m a psycho about car seat safety. I would never go up to a mom and say “why, that child appears to be 23 months old. You know she should be rear facing.”
Exactly, I am also nuts like that - my son just got out of his booster, a few months shy of his 10th bday. Everybody made fun of me but I didn't care. I told him if he didnt grow, he would be going to prom in his booster seat.

Yes. While I would never turn my child forward facing before 2, I see MANY people who do.
While I would never put my child in a booster at 4, I see MANY people who do.
While I would never leave my child unattended in a pool because she can swim, I see MANY people do.
But never in my wildest dreams would I approach a STRANGER who was doing any of those things and tell them that.
That was the point here.
Not whether we all think it's right or wrong to leave kids in a car.

What I’m curious about is say the op posted a article about how yesterday a car was hijacked with a 13 yr old and 2 smaller kids inside
I’m pretty sure most of the comments would be omg I would never.
You never know etc.
I’m not saying I would have said anything to the mom. I prob would have just hung around. What I’m saying is when in the rare instance it does happen. All the I would never do that people come out
You mean like this thread
Guess some people changed their opinions since then..lol
Omg LOL!
Wow, who has time to search for a thread that is over 4 years old.

NOT the same situation - that was a 4 year old unattended in an unlocked but running car. And this thread is about a 13 year old with smaller kids in a locked but running car and then the woman actually APPROACHING the mom and actually saying something to her like its her place.

Children left in car..curious of your thoughts
Actually like she stated before, the child didn't look 13 and looked much younger. Whatever happened to that saying it takes a village? If you see something say something. Imagine how many people looked at the four-year-old in the running car and didn't say anything? I'm sure this can be debated all day long, so I digress though

It takes a village doesnt mean judge me and harass me in public. Where is this village when I am paying my sons tuition or buying his clothes and the other expenses that come with raising a child???
Also Im sure the story with the 4 yr old happened in an instant, and a busy body wouldnt have changed the outcome. If anything bothering the mother to ask her questions would have added more time.

I was thinking the same thing when reading all the PP saying "i wouldnt say anything but would stay by the car watching"...
If someone was going to hijack that car what would you be able to do to stop them even if you were standing by the vehicle? I guess maybe it could deter the person from taking the car in the first place but if you are desperate enough to hijack a car im not sure you would care who was lingering around.

It IS the same thing. Its kids being left alone in an unlocked (op said she could see the locks) running car with the risk of being carjacked. So there was a 13 yr old (op thought younger) they can still be carjacked. It happens. Is a 13 yr old suppose to take on a criminal? Or should they have to live with the consequences of the parents decision? Look at the story I posted a few pages back. But I guess that father should've known better because of the area though. And for the record, I dont think the OP ever mentioned where this was. Not that criminals or busybodies arent everywhere.
And so what if she said something. YOU didnt or wouldnt. If someone wants to say something at the risk of being told to f*ck off, thats the risk she was willing to take. If you (collective you) leave your kid in the car, someone might say something. Its the risk you're willing to take and have every right to tell them to f*ck off.
Personally I wouldnt have said anything but shit Im not going to curcify someone who does. She didnt call the friggin cops or CPS.
Everyone judges something. This thread is a good example of it.
ETS: as someone mentioned above. This can be debated all day. Or for days..lol
We all see things differently. And do what we feel is best.
But you ladies keep judging a mom for judging another mom. The irony has me

Im sure the person who did the car jacking didnt realize there was a kid in the , hence why he abandoned the car and stole another one. The older kid was visible in the car, the chances of a thief stilling that car decreases dramatically. It is not the same situation. Sorry.

I'm going to be honest here, I don't want a village raising my child. I birthed her, she is mine. I'll raise her myself.
I don't want anyone else involved to be honest.
I don't even like asking people for help in my own family.
I always always hated that saying.
What village? This isn't the 1500's in some country town with wet nurses.
Leave me to raise mine, you raise yours.
If I need your help, I'll pay you like I did my daycare.

Re: Children left in car..curious of your thoughts
Sorry logic and statistics makes you laugh.
Compare apples to apple. Post a story of a criminal trying to get away and stealing a car with an teenager in the car.
ETA: regardless telling the mom wouldnt have prevented either cases of danger. Just making the person feel better about themselves because they dont agree with the moms decision.

And actually there is a related post on the bottom of that one where someone took a poll asking is it ever ok to leave your kids alone in the car and 127 chose "never ever" and only 2 chose at the convenience store

You always have so much 'tude Sissy, only time you have ever been decent was when you were PM'ing me about books. I'm sorry, it would never occur to me to search for an old post to try to contradict other people's post on this one...and I have not had the search feature work for me for at least 5 years, so yeah, when I try to search it takes like an hour.

Re: Children left in car..curious of your thoughts
Are people really this thin-skinned and easily triggered? If you're doing right by your kids and some other parent has some commentary about the choices YOU made for YOUR kid who the fukc cares??? Why the need to be nasty?
Sometimes people THINK they're being helpful and usually people don't mean any harm. It wouldn't occur to me to flip out or be nasty to a stranger so easily.

This.
In the grand scheme this person was trying to help. Whether she should have approached or not can be debated but the judgement on her is horrendous
Maybe we should take the it takes a village approach more. A friendly smile. A mom *gasp* applauding another mom
We are becoming a society that has forgotten social skills and the overall option of being kind because we rather stay in our bubble and shut the world out
Jaded. Everyone has a scheme or ulterior motive. Everyone rather not get involved
We have proven that the biggest enemy of mothers is other mothers

Sorry I have great social skills and I don’t equate good social skills with going up to a stranger and questioning her parenting. Idc how nice a person said it she went up with the intention to say she was doing something wrong according to her ideas and values. How is that sociable? I have very thick skin but don’t need any stranger coming up to me to convince me of what they believe. That’s a little strong.
I guess we have different ideas of social skills.

Are people really this thin-skinned and easily triggered? If you're doing right by your kids and some other parent has some commentary about the choices YOU made for YOUR kid who the fukc cares??? Why the need to be nasty?
Sometimes people THINK they're being helpful and usually people don't mean any harm. It wouldn't occur to me to flip out or be nasty to a stranger so easily.
This.
In the grand scheme this person was trying to help. Whether she should have approached or not can be debated but the judgement on her is horrendous
Maybe we should take the it takes a village approach more. A friendly smile. A mom *gasp* applauding another mom
We are becoming a society that has forgotten social skills and the overall option of being kind because we rather stay in our bubble and shut the world out
Jaded. Everyone has a scheme or ulterior motive. Everyone rather not get involved
We have proven that the biggest enemy of mothers is other mothers
Sorry I have great social skills and I don’t equate good social skills with going up to a stranger and questioning her parenting. Idc how nice a person said it she went up with the intention to say she was doing something wrong according to her ideas and values. How is that sociable? I have very thick skin but don’t need any stranger coming up to me to convince me of what they believe. That’s a little strong.
I guess we have different ideas of social skills.
Personally, I wouldn't go up to any stranger anywhere and say a word to them about anything unless their hair is on fire and even then I may be hesitant and contemplate saying anything in case they flip out and tell me I should mind my own business lol. But if a stranger came up to me to say they think my shoes suck and I could have done a better job picking shoes I'd just say "ok thanks" and I'd move it along and keep doing what I'm doing. But that's just me and everyone is different. People just seem really touchy these days.

LMFAO and Im the complete opposite. Not because I am touchy but I would think that person was entitled that they believe they can disrespect someone. And my gut instinct would be to say something.
