Cars and families go hand in hand. The familymobile of choice, the station wagon of yesteryear, has been replaced by the minivan as the primary means in which mothers transport their children to and from school, day care, camp, soccer practice, Johnny’s birthday party, etc. With so much time spent in the minivan with mom and dad, junior could easily fall victim to a poor choice in parenting. Some bad parenting choices are minor such as letting junior eat junk food in the backseat or forgetting to buckle him up for a short trip around the corner. However, the following example of bad parenting involving a car is so reprehensible that if you have ever or would ever consider following this fool’s example then you should really just find the closest bridge or cliff or tall building and hurl yourself off it.

Simply put, this Palm Beach, Florida man locked his infant daughter in the car while he moseyed in to the local “gentleman’s club” for a drink with one of the workin’ ladies. Not only that but he left the car running as an open invitation to any thief and/or “appreciator” of small children to step in and take off with car and child intact. Sadly, since this happened at nighttime and the child was in no danger of being burned by heat from the sun, our wonderfully effective judicial system charged him with a misdemeanor instead of the usual felony handed out to the very same incident if it happens in the daytime.
