Well, if it was a recent Chrysler T&C they have a DVD player standard, she was probably letting them finish the movie.

What’s the difference between that and having them all sit on the floor in the family room in front of a TV? At least this way they were strapped in.

Yeah, I could see that logic. Find ’em something to keep busy for a while and all that...

Maybe if the car had been parked directly in front of the salon, facing the curb, and her chair gave her a good view of the kids, then you could have like a sub- 10 second response time.

If not, then it’s no good. Besides, she’s already making too big of a compromise what with not being able to hear them.

Police learned that Bagley allegedly had left the children in the minivan, which was still running , with the windows left open a little while she went to a salon near JFK Plaza off busy Kennedy Memorial Drive.

What the fook!

You need a driving licence to drive on the road (yes, even in America),

a pilots licence to fly a plane,

some countries a licence to own a pet,

licences all over the ruddy place, etc...

Yet to have a child, nothing, zilch, nadda.

Not equivalent at all. Licenses for guns, cars, planes, et cetera make sense because we’ve built those things and they are privileges, not rights. Being able to have a child is pretty much a biological right. Being able to keep them? Different story altogether.
