Child Abandonment
It is truly unbelievable how incredibly stupid people can be. Bad enough that animals in the care of those who are negligent and unaware, uncaring and insouciant about the harm that can result from lack of interest in their welfare. But when dependent, vulnerable children too are involved in neglect and avoidable exposure to danger to their health and well-being, it becomes obvious that some people are just not good candidates for parenthood.
How it is possible for adults to be oblivious to the most evident needs of their dependents is a mystery to any intelligent, thinking individual. Yet there are other adults whose disinterest or disinclination in their obligation toward vulnerable children mark them as obvious sociopaths. How can it be possible that the need to shelter young children from the extreme effects of the weather eludes their understanding?
Yet, apparently it does. From the parents who leave their infants strapped into car seats for periods of time in locked-window-and-door vehicles while they saunter about a shopping centre in searing heat, or entertain themselves in area casinos, forgetting the passage of time and the needs of the abandoned children, to those who do the same with domestic pets, surrendering them to the vagaries of luck in being found by passersby before they perish, these simpletons don't deserve a second opportunity to place a dependent in peril on another occasion.
Yet, two people, parents of two young boys, four and six, will get another chance. Police who intervened estimate the children were left on their own for roughly 20 minutes in -22 Celsius temperatures in Vaughan, Ontario. While the adult parents who were seated in a warm restaurant eating pizza, untrammelled by the inconvenient presence of their children, have not been charged with a criminal action.
This kind of critical, uncaring neglect justifies the intervention of Child and Family Services. It is glaringly obvious that any parent sufficiently unaware of the danger in which they place their children by leaving them unattended in a vehicle in extreme heat or frigid temperatures, is utterly devoid not only of common sense but of an emotional attachment to their children.
Police were forced to break a window of the vehicle containing the two children. The children were noticed by a passerby who informed police of two shivering children seated in vehicle with frost on the windows, in distress. What kind of parents might these two represent, who would imagine that they are discharging their obligations as caring adults invested in the well-being of their children?
