Leaving keike alone in car while you go in to shop
#31
Typical overreactions.
Also is it any wonder I have had so much problems with some of these regular posters?


EW, in the case of RWR, I'm sure you've noticed he's an intentional provocateur. He finds joy in spicing the pot with confusion, then giving it a good stir.

cradhed? crashed?
Perhaps craved?
Several conclusions could be drawn from the possibilities presented. When taken in context of both his past and present comments on children it's not out of the question if someone wonders whether the poster might have nefarious designs on an innocent, especially when in the same thread he gloats at having captured someone in a trap he's set, one of the initial strategies employed by a predator:

One in the net EW ... Paul/Tom next

Then, his next move, often seen in football games, hit first when he thinks no one is looking, and if someone strikes back (another one in his net?), feign surprise and innocence, arms waving in the air and hope for the attention of the referee:

Ey rob ..i hope u reading this freak.

A great deal of this confusion might easily be avoided with clear sentence construction. So one might wonder, is it intentional? Even a cry for help? It's one conclusion given the history of his posts.

Most modern cars can’t lock the doors when the key is in the ignition so leaving a child in a running vehicle is very irresponsible
-----
If the car is running, the doors can absolutely be locked. If all doors are shut and the key is simply in the ignition, the doors may also be locked, from the inside.

yup agreed Ldude.

Was just going to say, I find that statement above very hard to believe. I have a modern car. Lock no problem.

Edited to add:
HOTPE I get your point. The reaction on this topic didn't seem deserved though. You think the misspellings are intentional? We might never know. It's one thing to disagree on a topic: (Is it ok or not to leave the kids in the car while shopping?)
No problem either way, we are allowed to have opinions especially if the kids are over 9 and it's legal.

I thought it was a bit much to assume the worst when RWR was trying to stress a point. I accept that I may not know the full story here. Still can't see a valid reason to tell someone to "burn in Hell". That is way, WAY over the top.

Three questions:

1) When is the last time in Hawaii or on Big Island you heard of a child kidnapped from a car in a parking lot?
2) The last time a very young child left in a car drove off and crashed into something?
3) Died from breathing fumez in an idling vehicle?

EightFingers, I agree leaving a small child alone in a locked car is questionable behavior by the parent (assuming it was the parent), but considering there's a low probability that anything might go seriously wrong, I think you did the right thing by walking away.

Here's what I would do if I ever saw this occur again. I'd stand nearby and I'd watch the car. If anything untoward occurred I'd step in and call 911. If the parent returns, I'll go on my way and not say a thing. Because guaranteed, questioning someone's parenting, to their face, is a sure fire way you can create some serious cradhed-fumez in a big box parking lot.

Most modern cars prevent you from locking your keys in the car. The parent can’t lock and unlock the car from outside when the key is left in the car. The car would have to be locked and unlocked by the child in the running car.

My point is it’s just not smart to leave a young child in a car by themselves under any circumstances. I understand kids can be a royal pain to bring in the store if they’re tired, moody and often want everything they see and have a melt down if they don’t get it.

Ah I see what you're saying now SBH. When you add the fact that it cannot be locked or unlocked from the outside, that makes sense. The way you worded it at first is a bit different.

Then, his next move, often seen in football games

The car would have to be locked and unlocked by the child in the running car.

Unless... the driver carries two sets of keys with them. If one is in the ignition, the other can physically unlock the door from the outside.
(I always carry two sets of keys when I'm driving. I've never been locked out of my car.)

EW, if you were to go back and read the garbage that pog (banned from PW) and airportparking (banned from PW) have written in the past, especially directed at TomK, then you may understand my reaction. RWR is obviously the same disturbed individual.

As for kids in cars, this was an interesting story:

Good article. We need more Mayberry. Thanks to my mom I’m wired to worry so I always went with better to be safe than sorry when it came to my kids.

HOTPE, I never said what I actually did and that was intentional. I wanted see what opinions others had without possibly clouding it with my actions.

Seems to me no matter what I would have done, RWR would have said I was wrong.
