I would never leave a young child in a locked or unlocked public area, in any weather, for any length of time, and especially if not in my sight. And I can't imagine doing so. If you leave a young child in a car it is a contemplated action and a risk

what good would prosecuting her do?
Almost beggars belief - thank goodness the child was safe in the end.
Should people who neglect their children or place them in harm not be prosecuted then, JNO?
Shockingly moronic act.
She should have been cautioned.
Even worse.http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/20/three-children-were-in-hot-car-left-by-woman-who-went-to-next-for-40-minutes-6018341/

You would say that about any crime but it may remind her what her priorities are in the future especially as the police gained easy access to the vehicle (thank God). It could easily of been a kidnap/murder scenario. Still think it's not worthy of punishment even if details were passed to the social services.
Some mothers are scared witless to take their kids to casualty when they fall off the garden swing less they be accused of child abuse and neglect. This was blatant.
Heard it was actually three children today on the radio!
Thank goodness the child is alright. Maybe the mother should be charged with endangering a child's life.
Natural selection?
What does natural selection mean in this case?
A couple of points come to mind here:

1. If the police thought that there were serious concerns (beyond an isolated incident) about a child's welfare they might well have alerted social services, so it's possible that they actually did more than 'administer strong words of advice' ;

2. It's possible that the mother might have just nipped into Next to, say, return a garment (expecting to be away from the car for no more than a few minutes) and then have got distracted from what she was doing. Even the most loving and caring parents can make such mistakes.

For example, a friend of mine was the most dedicated teacher I've ever known and loved by all of his pupils. He was also a loving and caring parent, as was his wife. After shopping at Asda one day, they loaded up the car and drove home. It was only when they got there that they noticed that their 2yo son wasn't in the car! They'd left him, sitting in his pushchair, in the Asda car park! (When they got back, having broken the speed limit all of the way, he was happily chatting to passers-by!).

So perhaps the mother just made a one-off mistake (like my friends did) and, just like them, was amazed at how she could have let it happen? We're all human!
its' not rhyming slang ummmm
I gathered that. What do you mean though?
I've never made 'a one of mistake' like this. If a partner of mine made a one of mistake like this it would put our relationship in peril.

What if the woman got killed crossing the road and nobody checked the car?
But good parents do make mistakes.
Best ignored, ummmm .
The comment is as moronic as this woman's actions.
Some mistakes are avoidable ... this is clearly an avoidable mistake.
Very avoidable.

Still want to know what TTT means though.

As if Madeleine McCann was not a world wide lesson on the perils of leaving children unatttended.!! Some morons can only learn the hard way if they are prosecuted. If named and shamed they might think more of their kids than the shopping.
