It might be better it you put the amber alert in the thread title.

Everyone at work is talking about it. I think everyone in the city knows and they will find them pretty quick. I assume it is a truck theft gone wrong rather than a kidnapping so the truck will probably be found quickly with the baby inside.

Hopefully that when the thief sees a baby in the back, he'll safely ditch the truck in a place where it will be found quickly. The thought of a baby sitting in a freezing vehicle in the middle of nowhere makes me sick to my stomach.

Did the mother/father leave the infant in the truck unattended?

They have found the baby in Grovedale. All is good again.

The information is limited, but that's what is implied by the alert and the media.

Although I can't even imagine how the parents feel, what good can come of leaving a child unattended in a running and unlocked vehicle? Assuming that this was the case, of course.

I hope that doesn't sound too judgmental, but the fear of my kid being stolen along with a car is horrifying and I wouldn't leave him unattended for even a minute. Big city, small town - doesn't matter. It is just too quick and easy for a thief to take a running vehicle.

I'm going to guess that this is a mistake that the parents don't make twice.

Glad the baby was found.

The only time i leave my son unattended, in the vehicle, is when i stop into the pub for a quick pint or two after a long day.

Good thinking, bringing a designated driver.
