Yes. Parents who leave their children unattended and out of their view can face child endangerment charges that carry a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.The law applies to children 6 and younger who are left inside a car for 10 minutes or more - whether the engine is running or not - without someone at least 14 being with them or within eyesight.
The fourteen states that have laws that prohibit leaving children unattended in an automobile include California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington. Most states have clauses in those laws specializing that the child must be in obvious danger or (in the case of Washington) depend on what type of establishment you are going into. Penalties for leaving children alone range from noncriminal traffic infractions to second-degree manslaughter charges if the child dies as a result from being left alone in the car. Additionally, there is a wide age range of children that pertain to these laws. Please note that even if a state does not have a specific law prohibiting adults from leaving children unattended, state and local prosecutors have the discretion to criminally charge adults under existing child endangerment laws if there is a significant threat to the child. The reasoning behind most of these laws is that, children, who have smaller bodies, react faster to adverse conditions. Therefore, if a car is sweltering and they are unable to open the doors, then they are too young to save themselves. Have your kid open the car door by themselves and you can leave them in the car while you shop.
It is not illegal to leave a child in a car in Washington unless the car is left running. However I would never leave my young child in a car. I would leave a teenager alone in a car, they hate to be seen with mom or dad anyway. :-) My daughter called the police one day because a young child was left in the car and the poor thing was upset and crying. The police told her there was nothing he could do because the child was not in danger. The mother eventually showed up and demanded to know what was going on, the policeman explained the concern. The mother was so angry, she waited until the officer's back was turn and she flipped off my daughter. Hopefully the incident made her stop and think.
{| |- | No, you do not. If the children are minors, the court may make a change to insure that they are not left as wards of the state. You should name all of the children as natural heirs, but there is no requirement to leave them anything. |}
