Why is it "certainly dangerous" to leave a 5 year old and a 10 year old in a car, while I go into a store to pick something up?

>>gnicho+(OP)
Not the person you asked but if I had to guess it might be similar to how people react to leaving a dog in a car. That is to say it's a heat issue.

>>Climax+6m
Unlike dogs, children can open doors and windows, and can shout for help if they think it essential.

>>Symbio+kQ
In many cars, power windows can't be operated when the car is off with the key removed.

Definitely true…but you can always open the doors. Kids that are 10, 11, or 12 are old enough to open a door.
