...the University of California Irvine researchers recently discovered ...

The University of California Irvine is a liberal shit hole and I give absolute no credence to any study they post.

The student government recently voted to remove the American flag for its campus office.

After a fight UC Irvine restored the rights of the College Republicans to host events and access space on campus.

The list goes on …

Deckard, you reach into the pit holes of Hell for the sources of your stories….geezze!!!

That may be true, but it certainly doesn't invalidate their conclusions.

Gatlin suffers from: --

--- "toxic sentimentality." That's when people believe that they are so tenderhearted, they are morally superior to anyone who is not excessively outraged by any perceived danger, especially to a child. And that allows them to get out the pitchforks. They get two thrills for the price of one: Despising a person they deem morally inferior, and feeling morally superior for that hate.

You have an extreme depraved mind to post a depiction of two small children using such a vulgar expression. You really should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself. But then, I guess you really have no shame, just low morals.

When she returned to the scene of the "crime" …

She can consider herself lucky, There are many cases where a parent was not so lucky and paid a high price for their stupidity.

Here are but a couple:

A newborn and a 2-year-old were kidnapped in Fayetteville, NC when they were left alone in a car that was stolen from outside a Pizza Hut.

A mother in Norfolk, VA left her child in the car while she went into the post office, when she came back out to take him to school, the car was gond….and so was her child.

There are many more stories with the same results …

Never leave a child alone in a car….not even for one minute.

And how much did her irresponsible behavior cost the taxpayers? Was she billed for their services?

Isn't that called taxes?

S*** happens. If the kids were kidnapped out of their room at home, would you condemn the parents because they were not in the same room at the time.

We cannot be in the same place as our children 100% of the time. Yes, the mother will regret her decision to leave her kid for a few minutes. I think it was kinda awesome that fate left the child in the hands of car thieves who took the child to school instead of doing something more horrible.

The parents should not be condemned if there were no negligence, the parents were in the home and capable of responding to any danger that may befall their kids. It would be negligence and the parents condemned if the parents were passed out in their room after consuming too much alcohol and/or drugs and did not hear the kids screaming for help.

We cannot be in the same place as our children 100% of the time.

Of course not, but we can be in the same place as our children when they out in public in a vehicle. Children should not be left alone in a car at any time.

S*** happens.

Yea, shit does happen and kidnapping kids left alone in a vehicle also happens. We know when shit happens and what to do about it. We also know what happens when kids are let along in a vehicle. It is too bad that some irresponsible parents don’t seem to know what to do about preventing that.
