That's beside the point. We're not talking about good parenting, we're talking about crime and punishment.

No it's not... You stated as such.

"Odds". It's apparently a numbers game to you. Not a parenting game.

Kick your kid off to play while you goof off.

No....


If you don't want to take of them, don't have them.

Everything we do in life has risk associated with it. There are always odds, so it's smart to play them.

Dude, do you live in Mayberry or Bug Tussel? It's NYC for christ's sake.. Are you that dense?

So let's see the data that shows stranger danger kidnappings are more likely in NYC than in small-town America.

Even if it's higher, I'm willing to bet it's not a significant difference.

Those pills the doctor gave you, he did so for a reason.

It just seems entirely too subjective. Maybe it wasn't the wisest decision, but huff has a point. Maybe some officer thinks yard tackle football is negligent. Or the dirt clod wars we used to have in my neighborhood.

If I were this woman, I'd go in and ask they prove other children had been kidnapped from that Lego store. The burden of proof should be on the police to prove she knowingly put her child at unnecessary risk.

LG may even argue that if the child were kidnapped, the store would be liable.

I'm not condoning her decision, but she shouldn't be arrested for her own judgement that she was leaving her child in a safe place.

I don't play the odds when it comes to my son.

Yes you do, because he takes on risks everyday. If you send him to school, there is a chance an older kid will molest him. I've worked with troubled youth, and that happens. Probably more than you think.

You're playing the odds every time you put him in a moving vehicle.

You're playing the odds every time he sleeps over at a friends.

You're playing the odds every time he's out of your sight.

You realize just how absurd this sounds, right?

Unnecessary is objective. Leaving your kids in a hot car is a risk. Letting them play in the four lane is a risk. Leaving them alone in a toy store while you go shop around the rest of the mall is a risk. And an unnecessary one.

This burden of proof thing is a little stupid. Because that kid could become the first statistic for a kidnapping from that store.

You're usually pretty cool. What's wrong with you today?

I'm always cool huff. I'm just tired of the "excuses" for bad parenting. You and I both put our jeans on the same way. You are making excuses for a mother who should have used better judgement. Had the kid been kidnapped it would have cost us ( tax payers) money.

I'm tired of folks putting their responsibilities off on others.

It's not personal. I apologize if my post upset you, but your feelings toward things like this and folks of religion drive me up the wall, you were a preacher at one time. Your anger over that is exposed in every post.

Everything is a risk. Leaving your kid in a hot car is a certain risk. Lego store is not.

It doesn't surprise me that it sounds absurd to you.

It is obviously not absurd to me. If you cannot see the difference between sending your child to play in traffic versus a Lego store then I'm not sure where to begin.

I could just as easily compare it to letting your child ride his bike to school (which I did as young as 6). Or a game of tackle football in the yard as Huff pointed out. There are risks associated there, too, that could easily be mitigated with a vehicle or an XBox.

You forgot the police would shoot at least a dozen dogs while looking for the kid.

WTF are you talking about? I'm fine with religious people.

I'm not making excuses for this lady. I'm saying she's not a criminal.
