Child Left in Car: At What Point Should People Be Banned from Parenting?

Too often — once is too often — you've heard or read about a parent who has left a child in a car. The consequences are often tragic.

Fortunately, when a 3-year-old boy was recently discovered unattended in a car at a Virginia mall, the child was fine.

His father, though, Ryan Rodriguez Chambers, 32, was charged with felony child neglect, felony child endangerment, possession of marijuana and intoxication in public. He had arrived back at the car after officers arrived to help the boy.

Granted, people make mistakes. But this? It leads to a question: At what point are "parenting" skills so lacking that someone should be forbidden from keeping their children? Tell us in the comments below.
