Seriously what the f*** is wrong with this nation?
Once again we have store employees and the popo not using common sense. Go right to the arrest. Ruining peoples lives. This woman was responsible enough to stop the car and get out so she did not smoke inside the car with her kids. She did not abandon her kids, she did not leave them unattended, she did not let them/her car out of her sight. She got out, paced around a bit while smoking and now she is going to court for being a responsible mother! WTF?
She may not be the best mom. She was apparently semi-inattentive. But who has not been distracted? Her kids were never in danger. The police say the car may have not had the AC running, that is in dispute. Doesn't say how "hot" of a day it was, maybe the AC didn't need to be on?
