man yelled at me....!!!!!

what a w*nker, i would be mad to but probably wouldnt have been able to hold my tongue. Ive done that before, also at the petrol station i dont take them out of the car, just lock it as long as i can see them and are only a few feet away. Dont worry about it, I guess the guy thought he was doing what was right and if i saw someone walk away from a car full of kids i would wonder myself although i would probably just wait to see what the situation is but hey you know you werent going to leave them so try not to let it worry you.

What a sh*t head!! On one hand it's nice to know that people will still speak out but on the other it pays to get your facts right before doing so! I also leave the kids in the car when paying for petrol and lock them in, I have also left them there when I have parked right beside an atm.

We are constantly telling peple off for leaving sleeping babies in their cars when they pick their kids up from kindy one lady did it for 15 mins and when confronted goes "but I left all the windows down. I will addthat we areup a very long frive and you can't see the cars on the street from inside. I will admit to dobbing people in at the shopping mall and confronting the odd person myself, BUT only after I have seen them walk of and go into the mall. I usually wait by the car one woman was gone for 30 minutes and left a newborn and toddler in the car, so I went to mall management and they phoned the police.

There is a big difference between 2 minutes and having them in constant sight and going shopping etc shopping. Just ingonore his comment.

we were at the werehouse in south dunedin and mum need to get money out of the atm i stayed with james who was in his carseat in the front seat and i was in the back talking and singing to him the a lady with her young son walked past the car and the wee boy goes to his mum that baby in the car alone and she said you should never leave a baby in the car alone ahh hello i was there in the backseat my mum hread her and said the baby is not a lone his mother is in the back seat but the one thing i notice that even if my son was in the in the car alone no one was gonna stop to check he was all right

lol Emma and if she cries, then what? hehe

I had a frustrating experience like this too. My little sister (Amanda, 6yrs) had the day off school to come stay with us over Sunday night/Monday and I had to go up town to do some banking. Amanda and Hannah loved holding hands with each other so I had them together and me holding Briona in her carry-car seat and we were all walking out of the bank to the carpark, and this older woman came past and said "what are you doing, taking that older child out of school to look after the younger ones!"

Grr I was so cross with her, fortunately I was so dumb-founded that all I could get out was "she's not mine!". The conclusions people jump to!!!

yep I also leave them in car and lock doors when get petrol.but would never ever leave them in car if I couldnt see ten them.guess that guy was being kinda responsible but he shoulda waited to see what the situation was before he yelled and swore at me.that terrible that baby left alone in mall car park for 30 mins.if I saw kids left in car for awhile I would call cops too......

The other day I walked thru town and happened to look into a car and here is this kid (must of been about 3 or 4) ASLEEP in the back seat of a car - not in a car seat - and the car all locked up not even a window open, and guess where it was parked outside of - WINZ... now don't get me wrong not everyone who goes into winz would be bad parents etc... but I thought maybe I should ring the police incase the kids suffercates or something. ONly made me think more becuase about a month ago a almost 3 year old died after his mum left him asleep in the car while she was visiting her mum, she even had car door open etc....
