BABYSITTING CAR

I was not aware of a car that had a heart or any other component to declare it human and capable of  babysitting any child left alone in it. I often wonder why parents forget the child in the summer heat verses zero below temps.
Parenting is not limited to showing off the beautiful bundle or dressing up baby, but involves every breath you take to insure the safety of your child or children.
Leaving a child in a car and locking the door is unacceptable in any type of weather. Your car is not a baby sitter or a real live person that can monitor your child's well being.There was a incident where a parent left a car seat with a child in it on top of the car and pulled off onto the highway,of course the car seat fell from the top of the car, luckily that child was not injured.
Parents cannot be so distracted and unaware of their surroundings that they
forget their responsibility of protecting their children.You must be focused at
all times with a child in your car.
Let's make this a beautiful and happy summer for all children.

Illegal Immigrants and their children

The news media is discussing Illegal Immigrants along with the border issues. Upon seeing families with children moving from one place to another to escape the raft of being illegal was disturbing. There must be another way to rectify this problem. Have any studies been done to tell anyone how many of these illegal immigrants have tried to or succeeded in harming the US in any way.Specifically, terrorism, bombings and the like.?
It appears as though if someone has sufficient funds and is a legal citizen that they can cause us more harm, such as the almost fatal act in Times Square.
Of course we don't want to be infiltrated with drug lords and their  wars, they must be kept out.There must be a way to filter the bad from the good, in doing so maybe some of the children will be saved now instead of waiting until something horrific happens to them.
Your thoughts on this issue would be appreciated.

Protection of our Children - Paddling, Spanking

Before we can solve one issue another pops up. Paddling in schools? By whom and for what reasons? It has been determined that paddling or spanking could be harmful to any child.Why would any parent want a teacher or anyone else outside of their home given authority to hit, paddle as a form of discipline? Teachers are good at what they do and are trained for that purpose , but that does not mean that they are qualified to render corporal punishment.
Have the teachers been screened and trained and had their emotional stability tested to be able to determine if they are suitable for paddling some-one's child  as a form of discipline?

We as parents are teaching not to hit anyone. How can we as parents agree to paddling in schools? The issue of discipline should be directed back to the parents, for they are responsible for their child's well-being.
When a child displays unacceptable  behavior or is disruptive in school, the parents should be notified and  be directed to proper professionals to assist them in correcting the problem.
Our children do not need to be put in a position that reflects the notion that it is alright to be hit by anyone or a designated person outside of their home.
