Half-Baked: Why Parents Leave Children in Hot Cars

I can’t speak for the others, but when I see an opportunity to be R1, I’m going to leap first and ask questions later.

A sweltering car, Dolores, can be an unhappy mother’s best friend.

The same reason they get pit bulls as pets. They regret having children.
