I saw a dog in a parked car about three weeks ago maybe four in 100+ degree weather outside of a local restaurant with the windows up and shut and the owner stuffing his face inside... before smashing his windows open with a crowbar I carry for self defense purposes I walked into the restaurant to announce the person had ten seconds to get into his car and go before I call the police and bash in his windows... the jerk got up turned on his car and locked his keys inside (must've had a spare set) and turned on the a/c but really wtf? Its like people who drive with their dogs in the bed of the truck on a major highway or any street... Yesterday I saw some teenage kid sitting in the open bed of a pickup truck with the back door of the truck open... what were his parents thinking?
I read a story similar that irked me just the same... some congressman or senator who backed his car over and killed young daughter or grandaughter when he was backing out of his driveway and then blamed car companies for not installing backup cameras in all cars... like it wasn't his fault...
I dont understand how people can be parents or relatives of children and not be more concerned about the safety of their kids. If I had a son or daughter i'd be forcing them to wear helmets or something just to protect them from all the stress ridden idiots who forget their kids are in the car and who dont have cameras to watch the ass end of their car...
When I was a kid sure it was a different time... back then... ten years ago... no cars had backup cameras ... we didn't do curfew... and kids just didn't get left in cars... my parents were stressed to the max what with their divorce and the fighting over who gets what sofa and no you dont get the condo... not to mention one of my parents is a fall down lush I mean I'm amazed with her constant drinking she never backed over me or my brother... despite my parents worst efforts they never killed us and I've never personally known someone who killed their child unintentionally... so I have little to no sympathy for those who did ... I think they need to be held accountable for their sheer stupidity and neglect...
or am I wrong? Are they the innocent victims in todays modern stressed to the max world where its easy to forget about kids? Is it the car companies faults for not putting a backup camera in every Kia POS so people dont drive over their kids?
