Are You Kidding Me?

To me, this decision is a no brainer. watch the video. I do not understand people, not just in Arizona, but anywhere. Why would you leave your child in the car? The manager of Food City should be relieved of his duties. The parent should be held accountable. The security guard should have ignored the manager and broke the window. They were all lucky this time. I would think that the security guard would be trained in such situations, especially if it is his responsibility to patrol the parking lot. It makes me wonder if there is a law that would hold people accountable for just standing by and letting a helpless victim die. If this is the case, would have the security guard and the bystander, both who did not act, be responsible? What about the store manager? He stopped the security guard and bystander from acting. Should he have been held accountable if the baby had died? There are times where you have to stop worrying about the action and consider the bigger picture. The child was visibly stressed and a locked car in summer...break the window and get the child out. No brainer...

One word...idiot! (Not you, the store manager of course!)

I wouldn't have listened to a store manager or anyone for that matter, I would be busting in to anyone's car to save a child.

Must not be parents...

If the guard had broken the window I'm sure the mom would have sued, the manager would have fired him, and he'd be broke and homeless.

Too bad we have to think twice before doing the right thing.
