Hannathy said:I understand not leaving a baby in the car but there is no reason in a safe area that a 5-6 yr old can't wait in the car while I run in somewhere for a couple minutes. Why would you have to keep an eye on her? as long as the car is locked and she is behaved.

This is why I would never leave a young child in a car alone, even just for a few minutes. This happened when I was a teenager while I was visiting relatives in the area this occurred. It has haunted me so much that as I had my own child who is now 7 and a responsible kid, I would still never leave her in the car alone- even just to run in to a convenience store.
