A 9 year girl is old enough to open the car and get out if she's uncomfortable.
My 9 year old daughter knows how to open/unlock my car.. infact, she has her own keys to the house and would just open and enter anytime she comes back from school and no one is at home.
9 year old no be small pikin again oo

No short cuts in life.
The American dream comes with a price, be ready to pay it.
The wages are not high in America when you take out housing and other costs of living. The main advantage is that Jobs are more available for however needs one and that is is a huge advantage.
Don't try to cut corners to save more so you can show off back home in Nigeria. To what END!

99 degrees Fahrenheit is equivalent to 37 degrees Celsius.

I saw this yesterday.

O ma se o.

Probably avoiding Care Centres fees, can't leave the child home alone because it is America and can't take her to work and school were on holidays then.

And Texas was bloody hot that time.

That is the American Life for some of our Japarians.

It a pity really.
Yes this happens often in the USA. Sometimes it's circumstances, sometimes it's carelessness.

One very important question - where is the father? A married couple can co-operate to handle child care appropriately. Yes it might mean giving up some money and living at a lower standard. Long term planning is key.

So sad. Really painful 😒 Chai!!!

Peace to the bereaved, what a regrettable death

Good Luck to Nigerians.

99 degrees Fahrenheit not 99 degrees Celsius.

Many of questioning the 99 degrees fail to realize that US measure temperature in Fahrenheit

She was medicated.. the mother gave her melatonin which would have made her drowsy.

i am sure that was not her intention..such is life
The law will definitely proof her intentions but she's made it easy for interpretation...
She set up that child to die....she even drugged tge child to sleep and she confessed its not first time anyways:

See some excerpts from Punch newspaper online below:

"....ABC News, in a report on Monday, noted that court documents revealed that Oluwasikemi died on July 1 after being left in the vehicle for more than eight hours on a 99-degree day while her mother went to work at a manufacturing plant nearby.

It explained that Gbemisola reportedly arrived at work around 5:45 a.m., leaving her daughter in the car with food, a rechargeable fan, ice cubes, and water, and lowered the car’s back windows halfway and gave the child melatonin to help her sleep.

When she returned to the car around 1:53 p.m., after finishing her shift, the mother found her daughter unresponsive and blue, after which she screamed for help."

A nine year old isn’t too young to be left at home on her own.
It definitely is. Most people can and do get away with it, depending on how long and the time of day, and if nothing happens to the child and the authorities don't get involved. If it's to run to the store for 30-minutes to one or two hours during the day, then that's fine, but if it's longer (be it during the day or night), then that's a no-no. It's an even bigger no-no to leave them in the house or car alone while you go to work for 8, 10 or 12-hours. There could be an emergency of some sort and they might not know how to respond. Of course, they probably know how to dial 911 and most kids do (unfortunately this child didn't or I'm assuming she didn't have a phone and many 9-year olds don't) and when the Police show up you're going to have to explain why you left that child alone and for that long. There're states and provinces where it's illegal to leave a child under 10 or 12 unsupervised/alone at home or in a vehicle, so it's not about doing what you want because they're your child. Sane countries have child protection laws/acts to make sure kids are kept safe and parents like this woman don't abuse their power, endangering the child's life.

This story here is a painful one, very painful one. In this case, I think it is carelessness on the part of the women. I even read online that she sedated the child!

As for the Father nit being heard or seen in the picture, a lot could be imagine and if care is not taken, our assumptions can lead us to judge wrongly.

The Father could be an absentee one, he could be in another State hustling or even still in Nigeria (there are many cases as such), he could be dead etc. As a matter of fact. We don't know and trying to fill that part, we might just be wrong. Also, Disaporean should always build support system in their communities. I know it is hard from the stories we hear of their struggles but they shouldn't stop trying.

This incident is one of the many brute reality of Migrants in the States as elsewhere.

May God heal the woman, comfort her because the Anerican justice system will most likely punish her.

It is really a painful one.

99 degrees
In America they measure their temperature in Fahrenheit.
This is the formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit (°C × 9/5) + 32

You are another accident waiting to happen.
How do you leave a 9 year old at home un-attended in a house full of potential hazards and you think its smart.
What happens if your 9 year old develops a fever or worst a convulsion (late febrile seizures), how does she receive the emergency care required. You will say its devils work.
The only reason you can say this here is because it is a faceless forum if not by now you should be on your way to Social welfare irrespective of the country you live even if its archaic Nigeria still some laws work.
Ask any medical professional for the meaning of "accident age"

You don’t need the key fob to open the door using the buttons inside the car!

I said go and try it before you respond to me again.

Let me explain something to you. No car will pass certification if you cannot open the car from inside without the key or key fob. It is considered a safety hazard.

You won’t be able to open from outside without the key but you MUST be able to open from inside or else the Car will NOT be approved for sale to the public.

Like I can if you don’t have a car borrow your friends car and experiment.
you try dey explain something give who dey call Tinubu Demigod.. grin He even went ahead to say it's such a privilege to have him as his president.

I was cooking meals, washing myself and going to school that's about 2kms from my house alone, did all of these at 9. There was this day when my uncle had some police issues and was really scared and confused, he decided to come late in the evening to tell my mum he'd appreciate it if she followed him to the invitation he got from the police, so my mum had instructed me to put some water in the kettle, boil and pour in the flask for my little sister's use when she gets back.
I woke up and she had already left, I knew where she went and quickly remembered the instruction she gave the day before, i immediately went to the kitchen, saw the kettle on the stove, assuming it was empty and not hot, I picked it up like I'd pick an empty cool kettle, this stove was about my height, I ended up spilling hot water on my face and chest, as my mum had already boiled the water and filled the flask, the quantity left in the big kettle was what I spilled on myself.
No one was home, in pains, I ran to the bedroom, turned on the fan, the pain got worse as the fan spinned, somehow I managed, my mum came back to find me on the bed, it was a hot afternoon, she instructed to take off my shirt, i did and that was when she saw my face and the skin that came off with the shirt, healing took weeks and till this day the scar is still visible to whoever looks at me very carefully.
A 9 year old is still a child, far from being an adult, and yeah when they say 99 degrees they do not mean 99 degrees Celsius, the unit is Fahrenheit, similar occurrences have happened, it is not the first.

I am not any accident waiting to happen..
She gets home with her sibling sometimes 10 to 30 mins before someone elderly joins them...and most times we pick her ourselves and drive home together.
She's growing strong and responsible with these little trainings.
She knows what to touch and what not to once she enters.
Nothing go happen to her.
Somebody that's in Jss 1 already..would you rather she stays with a stranger or roam about the street within that 10-30 minutes.?
Keep your curse to yourself and for yourself.
