Though if you want to talk about endangerment, it was far more dangerous to drive to the store with the kids in the car than it was for the baby to be locked inside a stationary, warm, alarmed, locked, and turned off car for 2 minutes.
So if the mom is arrested for that, I say arrest every mom or dad that takes their kids along for a drive (or if they have a swimming pool for that matter).
While I’m not sure leaving a small child unattended in a car for a few minutes rises to the level of being a crime, I wouldn’t call it “being a good mother,” either.

Incredible.

probably for child endangerment.
