I read that, and I think that is nuts. It is more of government trying to control people and people abusing power. They want child endangerment, drive down to some of the low income areas of Chicago. I worked child cases as an attorney, and 98% of them were from low income areas. This is nothing compared to what I have seen. May not have been the wisest thing, but endangerment, no way. This is some jerk prosecutor trying to make a name.

Coco, can you embroider "jerk prosecutor" on some men's undies for this guy?

This seems very excessive. My wife has done this sort of thing many times so as not to wake the babies. I can see if it is 110 degrees and she went into the store or something but she was in sight of the vehicle and never went inside the building. What a waste!

Click. It's a small movement of the finger. It might burn a calorie and that's not bad is it?

I think it's actually against the law in Utah now, to leave a child alone in a car. I'm not sure what the stipulations are. But I agree with y'all - this mom didn't do anything wrong.
Holy cow, that reminds me of when I left my sleeping kids in the car to run into the Dist. Center for garmies and it wasn't 3 minutes (I'm not kidding, cuz I was making a b-line for them and I hadn't got them all in my hands yet.) when my license plate is blaring over the loud speaker. Holy Church police! And ftr, it was like 60* outside and the windows were cracked. Of course, the big dudes in suits woke up the kids, so they were all like when I got there. Sheesh!

A 19 yr old father left his 3 month old child in his car for 3 hours two days ago in Tucson. He is being prosecuted for manslaughter. He simply forgot he had the kid in the car, by the time he remembered it was too late.
See, DoubleD, I think that would qualify as neglect. But there's more than an order of magnitude difference between leaving your kid for three minutes and leaving them for three hours. Plus, the woman in the first article referenced in this thread hadn't forgotten about her kid, and she kept track of the kid the whole time.
