Leaving a two-year-old alone in a car for 30-60 minutes (he doesn’t even know how long he was gone) isn’t criminal in and of itself regardless of the weather.
… ummmm, yes it is. Leaving a toddler unattended for an extended period of time is literally multiple crimes.
I’m not saying that. However, it’s highly recommended that toddlers have baby monitors with them while they sleep. So even if the parents were sleeping, their child’s distress should wake them up. This child was unattended, unobserved, etc.
