There's no need for it; I am against leaving children in cars for any period of time, but the current law of 15 minutes is enough. Some things just don't need to be laws.

This proposal amounts to a campaign ad. While I was deployed in the Navy my wife would have been subject to arrest every time she brought groceries home. Lou is spot on.

This is something that has to be done to get the attention of those who have endangered children but have not, so far, had one hurt. Obviously those who have hurt children will already have that to live with but those who haven't yet need something to get them to stop doing stupid. If you as a parent, guardian, or child care worker know you will get charged for leaving a child and it gets your attention then great. If it changes what they do that is risky. Then even better. We have children hurt by carelessness almost every day. People need to stop being stupid about leaving children in vehicles. Those who do this already show they are not thinking clearly. If doing this gets them a ticket maybe they will be more careful before it is to late. We have laws to try to get people to stop texting and driving. Does it stop everyone? No. Has it made some think twice about texting. Yes. Is it likely that the law has saved lives. Yes. Lou you are so wrong.

This is a horrible thing to have happen....it is punishment enough if you were to leave your child in your car. People need to slow down and pay attention. I agree it is wrong and terrible but a fine isn't the answer. What a waste of taxpayer dollars and lawmakers time…..everything doesn’t have to have a law.
