Shoppers Drug Mart 18th Street 2 Young Children left in running car!

So I know this is a ongoing issue, it has been brought up in other forums I am sure! However what I witnessed tonight was just DUMB on the parent/babysitter or whoever she was part! So I am at Shoppers Drug Mart on 18th around 7:30-8pm tonight and a vehicle is parked by the store doors (parked the wrong way might I add) RUNNING with 2 kids in car and a dog tied to front passenger side. Meanwhile this girl is yelling from doorway to the lady working the make up counter. (didn’t catch what was going on nor do I care!) All I am saying is NOTHING can be that important to leave your 2 young children in the running car!
I don’t care if you are a single parent or super parent, If you could see the kids or if you were just gone a minute! IT TAKES ONLY SECONDS FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE OFF WITH A CHILD! No wonder kids go missing with carelessness like this happening …There is no need to leave your kids in a running car, take the extra time to bring them in with you! IF you don’t want to bring them maybe find a sitter so you can go do your running around yourself!
Some may say well why didn’t you say anything/Do anything? Anything I would have done wouldn’t have stopped those kids from going with this girl (mother I am assuming) and she will likely leave kids in car again! So what’s the point?! Call police? well they likely wouldnt have gotten there very quick!
If this woman is reading this I hope she realizes it wasn’t to smart and she will think twice before leaving young children in running car!
