Baby in truck!

Pay no attention to the green blobby reflection of me in the window. But just above my head is a cute cute cute baby girl, whose daddy leaves her outside in the truck every day when he walks his son into day care for 5 or 10 minutes. This makes me very angry.
I called the police and they told me to call 911 while the truck is still there when I see it again. I will.
I may be butting in to someone else’s private business, but if my nosiness saves a child from abduction or worse, then I consider it worth it.
is she in the front seat? i sure as hell hope he doesnt drive with her there. is it a pickup? so many questions.
good for you for calling the cops. i hope you catch him next time and he gets what’s coming to him. poor baby!
omfg. omfg! I have no words!
*stabs*
good for you.
Also, on an unrelated note, the picture inspired me to go play in your flickr photostream. Your Sami is really starting to look like you and she’s got a *gorgeous* head of hair!!! It’s neat seeing her grow up.
It’s a pickup, so both of his kids sit in carseats in the cab. It is legal, only in cars where there is no back seat, but I still consider it to be dangerous. It’s possible maybe this is a single dad? and he really only has his truck available to him and if that’s the case, then I can’t fault him for driving the vehicle he has. But seeing as how he leaves her in the car to begin with, I’m doubtful that it’s truly necessity. But whatever. I wouldn’t be angry about this at all if he didn’t leave her unattended in his truck.
I won’t let Ben put Sami in his 2-seat sportscar unless there’s a cataclysm that involves my car in a fiery pit and no cars with backseats available to get her someplace she really urgently needs to be. Maybe that’s neurotic, but whatever.
