But if you're watching them, then you can intervene should anything happen. I'm not talking about completely unattended.

fair enough... different strokes for different folks I guess, I still wouldn't do it but everyone is different, and that's ok. Everyone should do whatever they feel comfortable with.

The op was talking about a monitor however, which means unattended for her. I think that is what has made most people stand up and say something in this case.

I would if you must and I do not condone it....leave the smart phone in the car connected to the home computer with a Skype connection open. You'll have video as well as audio.

Someone could crash into it!

Thats what I thought, on a driveway I could understand to some degree, especially if the driveway was hidden from the street by a hedge, much like at my mums house, but I would never consider it on a street, its too late to intervene if someone should crash into a parked car.

Stupidity it would seem is not an isolated case

I wouldn't do it, kids fall asleep at the drop of a hat, wake up if a butterfly flaps its wings, and fall asleep again.

A plane could fall out of the sky and land on my house. Statistically, neither of those scenarios are especially likely, though.

You cannot prevent a plane falling out of the sky but you can prevent your child being in a car whilst it is parked up on the road.

There aren;t any more "weirdos" now than there were in the 1950s and children were regularly left completely unattended in those days.

Yes you could sit in the car, but sometimes you have a list of phone calls, etc to make and those things can;t be done from the car, but can be done in the house while looking at the car.

Judge not until you've been in the same position. A light sleeper is a very special type of curse IME.

The iphone that you suggested could be used as a monitor can also be used to make phone calls whilst sat in the car!

We used to leave our daughter in the car on the drive. We just left the front door open and kept checking every so often

I do wonder sometimes how people think humanity evolved, we have been around a few thousand years, way before modern technology, and we managed to survive, despite the millions of !!!!!philes, random accidents, and food alergies, yet we probably worry more now than ever before

While we may have survived as a species, a lot of us died (unnecessarily) along the way. Tbh, I don't care if other people have done it and their children survived. I think it's a stupid and unnecessary thing to do.
