Not that teeny or tiny as proved earlier in this thread. You made a mistake and got away with it. Be thankful.

I'd do it again in the same circumstances. It wasn't a mistake.

So, what about the people who are disabled or compromised but not recognised as so? Whether temporarily or whatever?

I am guessing there are all sorts of times people have to make a 'best judgement call' short of perfection.

Hopefully with such frequent check ups throughout the early years a parent who is disabled however temporary would seek help/advice should they have concerns about safety. I realise provisions aren't always as good, and coming from a small town I do take for granted how good our healthcare professionals are, but nonetheless help is there and would be mentioned at any visits.

Of course there will be times when people do have to make a judgement call, it would be more worrying if someone did this as routine, leaving a baby unattended, popping out frequently etc...

Any reports of abandonment or suspected child neglect are always investigated, even if there is no further outcome. However a HV or school would be made aware of the visit and more than likely extra observations however subtle would take place to ensure the safety of a child.

In all seriousness how would this work with parents who were disabled /compromised and had to make some compromises. I'm thinking of people in positions like Alison Lapper, who presumably had to make some adaptations to parenting.

My wife is quite severely physically disabled, she would never use it as an excuse to leave our children unattended when they are too young.

Unattended is different to in a car though, its a very blanket statement. My car could be closer to me than many parts of my house,

I can imagine, for example, returnng from a shop on a decent day popping the frozen stuff in the freezer, milk in the fridge then sitting in the car and reading while. A child napped, Knowing my parking provision and house layout.

This thread is full of idiots:

so re the lady that thinks it's the norm in the world of showing dogs to leave them in the car - believe me it's only idiots that think that, i was at a large show a couple of years ago where someone had done that and an announcement was made that the police would be instructed to break into the car.

For those that think it's still ok to ignore all current safety advice - great for you, but remember that that advice comes out of tragic circumstances e.g - you think it's ok to co-sleep, or leave your baby in the car on a hot day - but the reason why we're advised not to, is that babies have actually died through being suffocated in co-sleeping and being left in a hot car - and if you think you know better than the experts that research this, then that's pretty ignorant and i'm sad that MSE has turned into a site for LCD.

Are you really that ignorant? you have no time for an agency who's sole purpose is to safeguard children.

Wow.

The NSPCC is very good at collecting money....and that's about all they are good at.
I wouldn't put a single child of mine in the hands of any one of their so called experts.

Wow. Judgy McJudgyson in the house everyone!

WRT cosleeping, we actually followed no guidelines, but as my husband worked away most of the time and we have a huge 6 foot bed, DD wasn't at risk. She slept ON me for around 4 months, and I found we both slept well that way, with me remaining aware of her the whole time. (Still do almost 4 years on.). I have 4 very close friends that did the same without incident. Guidelines are great, but they don't work in every circumstance.

Millions of people cosleep with their babies around the world every day. Babies die for many many reasons, for some cosleeping will save their life.

Its not the norm to leave dogs in the car, but it is increasingly common to have vehicles fitted with secondary air conditioning so they can be. This is not for large arena shows like crufts, but the out door shows with marquee benching which can be less comfortable than the alternative. ( oh, and I agree, not all shows are favourable to them, but that doesn't mean its not the most comfortable situation for the dogs!)

Police dog vehicles are fitted with similar systems ( one of which rather publicly and tragically failed)
