Help! Toddler left in car question
I was recently in Tucson with a friend of mine and we went to check on a
rental property she owns. Her 2 year old was in the car seat, napping, and my friend left her there when we went to check the house. The windows were all down (this thanks to me -- my friend thought you could leave the windows up on a 70 degree day in Tucson! This is the kind of thing that worries me about my friend.). We were in the house about 15-20 minutes. She never went to check on the toddler and we could not see the car from the house unless we were in the front room. We went all over the house and the back yard. My husband went to check on the toddler during this time. My friend did not know he did it. I felt VERY uncomfortable about the fact that my friend left her kid in the car unattended and I mentioned it to her. She dismissed my concerns, saying that it was a safe neighborhood and one she was familiar with. She also said that she didn't like to wake up her daughter from her nap because she was so tired. I do not have children. I know that I would NEVER leave my baby (if I had one) alone in a car, but maybe I am just paranoid -- maybe, since I don't have kids, I just don't understand. What should I do? Should I mention it again, more forcefully this time? Am I just being paranoid? I would like to hear from some parents on this. As for the neighborhood -- it's ok. It's not great and not terrible -- just ok. Lord, I can tell you all that I am concerned about my friendship with this woman right now because I feel as if I should mention this again way more forcibly, but I would like some advice first.
