Leaving Your Young Child in a Car Alone is NEVER a Good Idea!!

Although this may not be the whole story in the Sky Metalwala abduction but it does leave me thinking that I should address the thought of leaving your young child alone in a car. I am going on record right here and now to say that leaving your young child alone in a car is NEVER a good idea. If you start thinking that it is only going to be for a few minutes, they'll get really cranky if I wake them up or that it is going to be too difficult dragging the child around then you should rethink you plans.

The Department of Justice estimates that there are approximately 12,000 non-family child abduction a year. They also report that approximately 37% of these abduction are done by a stranger. Don't give a potential kidnapper the opportunity to take your child. Take your child with you eventhough it seems really inconvienient or plan on running your errand at another time.
