    NO LONGER WEIRD
    
    (18) the family that leaves behind one or more members at a highway
    rest stop and fails to realize they are short-handed until way down the
    road, as happened in April to a 9-year-old boy whose father left him in
    Lloydminster, Manitoba, and did not miss him until he got home to Red
    Deer, Alberta, nearly 200 miles away.
    
    That's not weird, it's criminal. Did they send the father to jail or
    take the child into care as they did the lady from wherever who was
    watching her child left outside a restaurant. There's a big difference
    between a pane of glass and 200 miles.

    	and there's a WAAAAAY big difference between an accident
    	and on purpose, too, mr.::CWINPENNY.

    Let's assume the man had left a briefcase full of money at a petrol
    station, I suppose that would be a more serious offence.
    
    Leaving a child in your care is not an accident, as I said it is
    criminal and it is beyond my comprehension how letting a child out of
    ones sight for hours can go unnoticed.
