Mother who left baby alone at shops: 'You're unfit'
YOUR SAY: To the young woman shopping at the bakery in Middle Ridge on Monday.
I watched you cradle your almost newborn in your arms on the way to your SUV.
You secured your precious cargo in a baby seat and then returned to the bakery.
After returning to the car a second time you then again went back to the bakery.
All this time, your baby was alone in your vehicle.
Do you not know it is illegal to leave a child unattended in a car?
Especially a defensive, wee babe on a warm morning.

This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
Then to make matters worse, you drove off - hands free - allowing your car to coast around the parking lot while your two hands were re-affixing your pony tail.
You were driving in a life threatening manner - shame on you.
Young lady, you are an unfit mother and need to amend your ways before your precious little baby comes to harm.
