Parenting - The New Surrey Crime
The headine says, "Car Thieves Take Surrey Tot for a Ride."
But that's not the story.
Not by a mile.
The story is that the idiot irresponsible father of a 2-year old girl leaves the child in his Lexus SUV while he goes into a so-called convenience store at 10 pm!
Why is he not charged with leaving his car running, abandoning his child, bad parenting, aiding and abetting a criminal act and generally being a danger to his community?
Two years ago, I encountered exactly this circumstance in the shopping district on West 10th Avenue, an infant alone in a van. I looked everywhere for a parent. I hollared. Finding no one, I called the police. Before they arrived, the genius "mother" emerged from a tanning salon with a magazine and a ciggie.
"Is this your baby?"
"Yes."
"I called the police."
"What for?"
The police arrived, nothing happened except that I was viewed by the woman and one of the two officers as a meddling alarmist old fool.
Next time I see a baby abandoned in a van, guess what?
I'm going to call the police again.

David, you should have kept the baby. It would be better off with you.
Vancouver Police are lazy! You know that!
I heard of one instance where a kid was introuble,drowning I think and the person that could save them didn't because he didn't want to be mistaken for a child molester.Society has gone to far!
I agree, keep the baby, and drop the SUV off at my house. It's really a shame that abortions can't be retroactive. No, not for the baby, for the "non parent"!
Lexus, 10
Baby, 0
