Oh that's great news. No judgment to the mom. If you're doing Door Dash with your kids I know you're desperate and stuck, and doing it for them. She'll never do it again.

I feel so bad for all the hate she’s getting. You don’t Door Dash with your twin babies because you want to. Her support system wasn’t there for her.

Same people bitching about her leaving kids in the car would be the same people bitching that she’s on welfare and not working. It’s a no-win situation for her. Hopefully this is a blessing in disguise and helps her land solid employment. She’s obviously a hard worker and dedicated mom.

Either way, society shits on you. I wish we could collectively agree that help first is the way to go. If you see a kid is wearing dirty clothes - instead of saying how shitty the parents are, how about help the kid and the parents by providing new clothes asking if they need laundry help. Instead of yelling at moms who leave their X years old home alone, provide free childcare somewhere because I doubt she wants to work 9 hours for 6 of those hours to go to childcare much less chose to leave the kid if she didn't have to. We have collectively forgotten what a society is for because everyone is so selfish.

A lot of us have chosen not to have kids because it is too expensive. So it is a little frustrating to see people just Leeroy Jenkins their way into parenthood and then expect everyone else to pay for the kids.

Sometimes people have kids first and then things fall apart.

Other times, for example in Ohio, they literally can't access abortion.

That's fair. Religious extremists have messed things up pretty badly.

Pretty sure child services is about to get involved if they aren't already

Everything is clear on what she could’ve done differently in hindsight.

How about making the world a place that people don’t have to/want to steal other people’s cars, rather than blame the victim of a crime?

You can't lock old car doors without turning it off. Can't turn it off with kids in it.

God to me an “old car” is one without remote starters where you can do whatever the fuck you want because there are no electronics save the radio/cassette player. I’m old.

Yes you can I used to do it all the time. You just need a second key.

Lots of vehicles have overrides. My 2009 Toyota would not allow you to lock it from the outside while running. It would lock and then immediately reopen.

Maybe, but it's one of those things that most people would think nothing of until something like this happens to them. She was doing Door Dash, so I assume she was close to the vehicle and gone for a very short period of time.
