Well they were law abiding at least

I betcha 'child abadonment' is poss against the law.

Could it be seen as that?

Is it 'child abandonment' if a parent leaves a child harnessed in a car, while they go in and pay for petrol?

I'm with you..   I don't like it & I wouldn't do it.    I don't even like it when I see dogs tied up outside shops (they look sooooo sad)... 

 

I will say one thing though..    there is a chance that she wasn't actually placing a bet, but collecting on one!    The only scenario I can think of in which I would consider doing what has been done here, would be if the only access to cash I had was a winning betting slip, if I was desperate, had no one that could mind the toddler for me whilst I cashed it, and I needed food/nappies etc...  

 

(I haven';t read the link though - so if it was stated she was actually placing a bet, then yeah...   I don't think it's right)

My Mum used to leave me in the pram outside shops all the time...   with our old dog tied to the pram guarding me 

 

Mind you, back then it was the only time the dog was on a lead, back then dogs were allowed to come & go as they pleased (bizarre when I think about it now)

Well one is a necessity, with cars everywhere, and the kids secure in a locked car. (petrol)

The other is not necessary, left alone in the street where anyone could wander past.

Don't think they are the same
