If you read the bottom of that blog article starting July 1'st it is illegal to leave a child under 6 in a car for more then 15 mins.
Now although this is actually a step up for the state of Florida since they previously had no such law at all.. I am disgusted that the law allows for a child to be left in a car for up to 15 minutes alone.
Talk about enabling lazy parenting!!
Who the heck is the moron who thought this was a brilliant law??
Even worse is that our govenor had to sign this over objections by several lawmakers ....

They were defending the parents!!
"The bill passed the Legislature in May over the objection of several lawmakers, who said it would make criminals out of people who make simple mistakes and that the state should only go so far in telling people how they must raise their children."
It is not a "simple mistake" to be a lazy parent and let your child swelter in a hot car because you cannot be bothered to take them with you while you run into the store.
