Was she trying to steal the car?

Was she trying to steal the car? Kidnap the boy? or just trying to teach the father a lesson? I guess the judge will decide. But definately...never leave your keys OR your kids in the car. *warning, not an election thread*

Oh, wait, this isn't Free Republic. We now return you to your previously scheduled weblog.

All jokes aside, that is kinda scary.

It's weird that the lady seemed to have done it to teach him a lesson. But this is unfortunately not all that uncommon of an occurance. There was, just a few months ago, an incident in Kansas City in which a father left his keys in his running car outside a convenience store with his child in the backseat. Someone stole the car and later ditched it when they found the kid in the backseat. Or something like that, I can't remember the details. In any case, the parents who leave their children unattended in cars should be charged with criminal neglect, as well.
