    If it’s MORE dangerous to drive your kid to the mall than to have ’em wait in the car while you pick up a package, why do we arrest parents who do the latter and not the former? Kim Brooks — arrested for letting her 4-year-old wait in the car for 5 minutes — just wrote a book about that. We discuss it at Let Grow.
