After dropping DS off at daycare, DD and I were getting back in the car so I could take her to school. I hear a baby crying, like FLIPPING crying. At first I just thought someone was changing a diaper in their car or something, but something inside me just dropped. I look at the minivan 2 cars behind me, and I can see a baby in an infant seat flailing and screaming his head off. No other person, car not running. I grabbed DD and ran back into the school and told the director. She came out with me and tried to calm down the baby through the window (he was maybe 7-8 months). DD and I went to leave (since I really didn't want a confrontation with the mom) and she came out as we were driving off. I really hope she knows now.
DD's school has a circle drop off private drive. Parents park, get their children, and go into the building, scan in, and to their child(den)'s classroom. The process takes at a minimum 3-5 minutes, and this is a new parent and has 2 kids in the school (I saw them walking in).
From a car seat perspective, expired (probably recalled) Evenflo baseless infant seat, with the belt just buckled across baby and a bunch of blankets (not through belt path for baseless install, not tightened).
I still feel so sick over the whole thing. Really anxious.
