i was perfectly fine with a key after school, and sometimes even before. my mom taught me how to cook and pack lunches. i wouldve loved a day off to watch tv lol. but i dont know their situation either, so i gotta read more but theres gotta be some reason she couldnt stay home with the doors locked? a number on post-it, 911, that stuff. but if her mom was willing to leave her in a hot car i doubt she cared enough to teach her this stuff in the first placeDon’t know her situation… staying at home alone at the age of 9 isn’t ideal in 2025, but way better than leaving her in the car….. I wonder if the kid had a disability

If it was truly an accident she has been punished enoughI don't wanna hear that dumb, bytch ass excuse of "maybe she forgot she was in there. It happens."
Stop that goofy ass shít and start holding ppl accountable.
It's a child, not a bag of items from Target
this story was probably boosted by workers rights and affordable childcare advocates only for the responses to ignore that and jump straight to asking why we aren’t just leaving kids at home by themselves which leads to exponentially more deaths and injuries each year.
If some idiot gives you that excuse, let's hope THEY don't have kids.It should be mandatory felony if a kid dies from being left in hot car. These situations keep happening because police pick and choose which situation to change and others not.
Don't give me the excuse of "well you don't have kids" or it can easily happen as people get charged all the time because of someone else's negligence.
It's essentially no different than leaving a gun attended around a child.
What if stupid laws that required her to not leave a kid alone at home happenedhow the fukk is it safer to leave the kid in a car by themselves, than just leave them at home
what kind of idiot would consciously choose to do this?
this is what they call people that think outside the box
i dunno i just think its distasteful to mine tragedies on some "uh huh i was right" shyt.. at least wait a couple of days lolthis is what they call people that think outside the box
Or have the audacity to do their own thinking rather than simply adopting the narrative
