>why do people leave children in cars in the summer time?
Parents don't want to be embarrassed by their screaming children and nobody trusts baby-sitters anymore.
@rok0 If I ever have kids, I would only take them to grocery stores that don't sell toys or any other kid stuff so they won't start screaming if they see something they can't have. This won't guarantee that they won't start fits, but it helps.
I also heard about parents getting kicked out of stores because their kids are too loud. I guess that might be another reason why they leave their kids in cars. It's still not an excuse though.
the ultimate answer to the question I asked is that there are people who do not want to take the initiative and parent (verb) their children.
