I think I'm learning from Twitter that you're not "allowed" to leave your kids in the car anymore while running into a store for a quick errand? -- nm - ty97 Nov 16, 11:16 44
- My folks did it too. There's laws against it now. Charges like "child endangerment" " unsupervised ..." due to heat / lack of air / other elements. -- nm - budice Nov 16, 11:51

      - The only times I left Logan in I literally could see the car from where I was and it was under a coupe minutes, so it was enough. - Spawn Nov 16, 12:33 1
        
        Wait. Carjacking has become a thing because of the existence of the key fobs. Cars (other than Hyundai's and Kia's) can't really be stolen easily - pmb Nov 16, 12:36
    - My car won't lock unless the keyfob is inside the car when it's running -- nm - decline Nov 16, 11:39 5
      - Then how do you lock the doors when you park it? -- nm - First Thought Nov 16, 11:40 4
        
        'when it's running' - decline Nov 16, 11:43 3
        
        Hence my first thought wondering how you park it! - Spawn Nov 16, 11:44 2
        
        Re IM: That 'feature' touted for child safety that turns rear doors into the equivalent of no door handles locks in adults just as well as kids -- nm - JD Nov 16, 11:48 1
        
        My mom has a Camry, the button on locking rear *and passenger* doors and windows is this button you press that is way too easy to accidentally press. - Spawn Nov 16, 11:53
    - Something is wrong with my car. The doors will not lock with the car running. Even if I use the key fob in my hand standing away from the car. -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 11:37 8
      - Whoa. Do you mean if you leave it or even while you are in it? -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 11:38 1
        
        If I leave it. Like if I need to run back inside, the fob or the lock button will not work once I get out. - sycor Nov 16, 12:01
      - I wonder if it is a new safety feature. My car won't let me lock it when running when outside the car. I *think* I can do it if I open the door, hit - oblique Nov 16, 11:38 5
        
        Same. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 12:24
        
        Weird. My last car had remote starting that required you to hit the door lock button, first. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 11:39 3
        
        True. To do a remote start I have to lock it first. But if it is already running I can't lock it from outside -- (edited) - oblique Nov 16, 11:40 2
        
        Yeah that's what I mean. Once it's fully started, I can't lock it from outside. I think using the pull out key from the fob will work but I always - sycor Nov 16, 12:03
        
        Just... oh. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 11:46
    - seems to happen once a month here -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 11:35
- Helicopter parenting is out. Trapped in an elevator parenting is in. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 16, 11:30
- I was talking to an old grade school friend about our walk to and from the school, and he said "That's so far, I would never let my daughter." -- (edited) - Max Nov 16, 11:24 9
  - I walked / rode my bike to grade school and heaven forbid, I played in the street. Curbs make for no doubt in bounds for football - JD Nov 16, 11:41 1
    - I definitely recall jamming (not quite breaking) a finger on an electrical box in our front side yard while playing 500 -- nm - oblique Nov 16, 11:42
  - My grade school was just under 1.2 miles from our house (I remember because we *just* missed out on the bussing limit). I'd walk/ride my bike - oblique Nov 16, 11:26 6
    - I’d bike a mile to school fairly regularly starting in second grade. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 16, 11:35
    - We were much less than that from Logan's first school but were not allowed to walk as he had to cross a (not busy) street to get there. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 11:30 4
      - But yes, my grade school was at the point of entry to my subdivision and I (as well as my sister) would walk all the time. Maybe half a mile. - Spawn Nov 16, 11:32 3
        
        In the 1960's (Winnipeg) we had to walk through 4-foot snowdrifts 3 miles to school, barefoot. It was uphill both ways. -- nm - mud Nov 16, 11:40 2
        
        I remember 1960s Winnipeg well... -- nm - budice Nov 16, 11:48
        
        Hey now, I am saying how great it was. I played there all summer on the playground and the area behind the school. - Spawn Nov 16, 11:42
- i mean in the summer, not for a second. in cooler temps, depending on the age of the kids i don't think people freak out. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 11:20 9
  - Aren't parents now more concerned about kids being snatched, or shifting the car out of park? -- nm - Max Nov 16, 11:25 4
    - they are concerned about everything, but the heat thing is actually valid. (i shifted a car out of park when i was two. -- (edited) - Andie Nov 16, 11:25 3
      - My dad will go shopping and leave the dog in the van with the engine running the a/c. Which I think means the doors are unlocked. - Max Nov 16, 11:29 2
        
        Last winter I was at a Wawa when a cop walks in and says loudly 'Would the owner of the SUV with 2 dogs in it please come over' - Guy across the store - decline Nov 16, 11:32 1
        
        sweet -- nm - mud Nov 16, 11:36
  - Well and like what age are we talking about? Once they can open the door themselves, it's not like they're trapped. -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 11:22 1
    - right. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 11:22
  - we absolutely stayed in the car on hot summer days - hollywood big shot Nov 16, 11:21 1
    - i think people are way more likely to freak out if the saw smallish kids in a car in the summer than say now. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 11:23

  - I do draw a line between the pyramid/house of cards that are these exchanges and DeFi in general and the underlying "OG" Bitcoin/Ethereum - oblique Nov 16, 11:18
