What else can I help you with?
What is NH law for leaving children home alone?
No matter what part of the country you are in DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN A HOT CAR. Way too many children have died because of this. How old is the child? Do they know what to do if a stranger approches them? Do you have air conditioning? I have a remote starter on my vehicle and when in use the vehicle's engine runs, the air conditioner runs, and I can roll up the windows and lock the door with out worry that my child will accidently knock it into drive because you have to hold the brake to change from park to reverse or drive AND if you push the brake with the remote starter activated the vehicle shuts off. Then I can take the keys with me and unlock the door when I come back out. Please note that this only happens on rare occasions and only when I run into the gas station.. DO NOT SHOP WHILE YOUR CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR! I never leave my kids (7 and 9) in a hot car so don't worry about that. I was referring to just the type of situation you mentioned. My kids know what to do if a stranger approaches the van and I take the keys with me so we don't have any worry about the van running away without me. I totally agree not to do a regular shopping trip with the kids in the car, I was thinking more like a gallon of milk, loaf of bread and a dozen eggs at the convenience store which will take 3 times as long if I take the kids with me.
