What does it take to 'turn a car engine off'?..even if she is too weak to carry the baby along?
A lot of children have died, having been left it the car by their parent, to do one thing or the other.

If you are not capable of good parenting, please dont bear children!

Let her try this in America or Europe, she will never be allowed to see that child again, when she comes back from Prison.

The engine is off but the hand brake lever is not properly engaged.. Like I said, it could happen to anyone

the woman needs flogging. is the car manual or what..cos I wonder how an automatic car will roll off..except she put it on Neutral N..that would be highly stupid of her

Drivers should learn to use the Parking brake...

It's there for a reason...

Stop saying it can happen to anyone! It can only happen to incompetent, foolish idiots.

First, when you are in-care of a helpless baby, you should know that you have greater responsibility than the ordinary Joe across the street.
You need to check and double check whatever you do, for the sake of the 'helpless' baby.

Secondly, except for those people who never went through proper and adequate driving lessons and their driver's license was procured for them via "remote" and brought to them at home, every trianed driver knows that if you are driving a 'manual gear', even before you turn-off the engine, you would put the vehicle into 'hand brake' so before you take your feet off the brake pedal.

And if it is an 'auto-gear', you throw it into the "P" (parking) position, before taking your foot off the brake Pedal.

So, stop making all this untenable excuses for foolish and nonchalant behaviour.
That woman should be banned from driving for ten years and made to undergo proper driving test (American/E.U standard) before she is issued a license again.
