  1. Wait, why was a 15 month old girl left in her car seat to begin with?
    Where was the parent?
    What’s going on here?

  2. The father was parking the car with the toddler in it. In the time between taking the stroller out and getting the toddler out, the huge tree branch snapped and nearly came down on him.
