Mildly Infuriating

I can barely handle being in a car that has been sitting in the sun for the 5 minutes it takes for the AC to get up to speed.

Now the 20-year-old mother has been charged with one felony count of involuntary manslaughter and two felony counts of willful cruelty to a child, according to court records.

Is it not a specific crime in California/US to leave a child locked in a car?? We don't fluff around with that in Australia. Also have exceptions to property damage laws for bystanders breaking windows.

She has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held in a hot car with no AC in lieu of $1,080,000 bail, according to the Kern County district attorney’s office.

FTFY

Was it leavitt? Yea, no cumuppance will happen there

Unfortunately this is a pretty common occurrence. There was a big furor about it about a decade ago with a social media fad called the "hot car challenge" where adults would sit in hot cars turned off in the sun to see how long they could last in them ostensibly to build awareness of the problem, and there were all sorts of helpful tips and design changes made to cars and phones to try to make it more difficult to forget your kids in hot cars. Myself I wonder if any of it had any actual impact because surely the sort of people who leave their kids in hot cars aren't the smartest and probably don't keep up with safety PSAs about the issue.

it must be on purpose at this point. how many times does this need to happen before people stop doing it?

Is this mildly infuriating? No. This is a joke comm, not a group cry.

Almost anyone can have children, but not everyone can be a parent.

One of my more controversial views is that having children should require a permit, like adoption currently requires, you'd need proof that you are able and willing to raise a child in the environment they deserve to be raised in.

Yes I realize what the downsides would be.

Bakersfield is a conservative shit show

Getting lip fillers…the kind of people who should not have children

its 101 degrees outside the car, but inside it can reach as much as 130-140f.

Me reading this article:

Huh, California?

Oh, Bakersfield. Say no more

Fuck

"The car was parked in a space facing west during the hottest part of the day."

Hernandez was getting a lip filler procedure at the Always Beautiful Med Spa Sunday, according to reports. Those same reports say she didn’t check on her children until two and a half hours later.

“In a normal person, it’s not gonna happen,” said Gricelda Anaya.

Anaya works next door and saw people scrambling into the building to try to save the boys.

“What we see on the camera is that they’re trying to put cold water right here on the reception, and it was something very sad that never had to happen.”

Those scrambling people are probably going to have some kind of PTSD now too.

Oh and Dad's in prison for some other unspecified reason.
