Dear Freeper Lurkers, please don't do this.

I know we disgagree on everything, and you freepers are morally impaired, but please, please don't leave your kids in the car, especially with the windows up. And if there are actually any dumb democrats, this means you too. I'm so sick of reading these stories. This needs to be stopped. Maybe when we are walking through parking lots, we should glance into cars just in case some jerk has done this. If you see some kids strapped in and crying in a hot car with no adults around, BREAK THE WINDOW AND LET THEM OUT. I know the title is whimsical, but this shit really does break my heart.

if there is a child or animal locked in a hot car.

I'd wait 60 seconds. No parents come, and I'm breaking the window.

here in Texas, after trying to open the doors, I wouldn't hesitate a second to smash a window for a child OR an animal in intense heat.

breaking into a vehicle to free a human or animal. I was about to do this once when the car's owner came out and she called the police.
The police called the paramedics; the woman's mother was having trouble breathing and was suffering from heat prostration (her mom was quite feeble).

Temp in the car?

142 degrees . . .

GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR . . .

the car is a virtual furnace, ANYWHERE, on a sunny day.

has a lot of kids doesnt make them a freeper. They could be Catholic and that doesnt make you a freeper although the biggest Catholic family I know is like that. Here in VA there was a case and a friend of mine who goes to Catholic school knew the family involved. I thought the guy Kevin Kelly should have got some jail time but with a touch of irony my other right wing friend said he shouldnt have to go to jail maybe not but he believes we should go to jail for having pot.

Paterfamilias would make a great Freeper. All the kids are grown now, and they are all centrist to far left.

I belong to a small Catholic family. My grandparents were in big ones and they all were democrats. This family was democratic but guns and abortion man sucks. The Catholics are conservative here then again everyone is cept for me.

Hell, I have 2 kids - that's why this breaks my heart!

I never thought of freeps having any more or less kids than dems. I definitely became more liberal after having kids. I want a more decent & just world for them to live in, not just a bunch more stupid material crap.

some make this misconception. I was thinking about Kevin Kelly in Manassas, Va its ok I am not mad. It breaks my heart too not mad at you one bit but some make this conception good to know you dont.

before beddy-bye. See y'all tomoorrow.

The article says that this happens to 300 kids per year, BTW.

That's Military Police for those who don't know...

Standard Operating Proceedure for a kid in a locked car was to 1. Call the dispatcher. 2. Look in the immediate vicinity for the parents. 3. Check for unlocked doors. 4. Notify Dispatch that I was breaking the window.

2 minutes, from first call to broken window. Less if the child was showing 'signs of distress'.

What the hell is wrong with people?

Not just children, but don't forget animals either.

....at least if she had short them they wouldn't have suffered so long.

Some family just lost their children to a Cadillac SUV driving "foster mom".

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
