verisimilitude, thanks for getting involved. I knew you'd be here to set me straight sooner or later. I'm sorry if me "flying off the hook" over someone deliberately leaving the kids unattended in a car in hot weather upsets you. I guess we just have our buttons pushed by different things.

For your information sefri is a man, according to his profile.

Sefri himself stated that his kids were already "sweating with red faces" in "only a minute if not less", and that he made a stupid mistake and learnt a valuable lesson that day.

So both he and I at least agree on the fact that it was dangerous to leave the kids in the car. Being shut in a car on a hot summers day in Amman would certainly cause someone to suffer badly, especially a child.

And that's just from a heat point of view. I haven't even considered the fact that he just left his kids unattended.

I am well aware that my parenting license idea would never become a reality. But I seriously believe that something needs to be done about the people who have children and are completely inept at bringing them up.
