Uh - I have 2 kids and have never, ever left them in them car alone.  If both are sleeping, I take them both out of the car at the same time.  If I’m by myself, I carry one and make the other walk, push comes to shove, I’ll carry both if I have to.

Well I have two kids of my own and I do not even leave them in a car for one solid minute alone and they are teens! Sorry but that is totally irresponsible to leave a child in a car for any amount of time. You can actually take two kids out at the same time with some effort.

I want to know why he left the baby in the car?  And I why he didn’t lock the car?  I have some doubt. Thank God the baby is going to be ok.

Jessica from Orlando - It’s obvious that you have no children or only one child.  What do you do when two children fall asleep in a vehicle on the way home?  You can only get one out at a time.  Typically, you wouldn’t lock the car because you’re coming right back to get the other one.  But from now on, I think we all might think twice about leaving a child in an unlocked car in this situation.
