Maybe I am just too sensitive ...

So, my morning is totally ruined. I was at the gas station this morning and as I was walking out, two women came in. They had parked right beside me and as I got in my car, I glanced over at theirs. The car was running, the windows were down - and their baby was in the back seat in his car seat screaming! He could not have been more than 18 months old. I was so upset. I looked in the store to see if they were maybe just running in to pay for gas or something (not that that is okay) but both women were just standing by the coffee machine, taking their time! There were two of them - why did they both have to go in and leave their child in the car alone? It bothered me so much that I actually took down their license plate number and the make and model of their car and reported them to DCFS. Children are so precious and it kills me that so many people take them for granted. Maybe I am sensitive because of everything I have been through, but what I saw this morning really bothered me.

So sad that people do not realize how precious their children are and how easily and quickly something bad can happen! That is awesome that you reported it-those babies needed a savior.
