If the bystanders knew how long the baby was in the car, why didn’t they try to get her out sooner?
perhaps they checked the cctv, or the meter. Why run to judge people when you see them doing the right thing is beyond words. A day after tish’a ba’av we should do better.
nowhere in the article did it state the bystander knew how long. also he probably had to come up with a way to break the window.
after the fact they probably deduced how long the baby was in there by investigating.
מזל טוב
that’s not the right word for this. this is more of a tragedy avoided. than a simcha.
right, who knowingly observes a baby in a hot car?
you might want to look at the definition of that word. it seems you are mistaken.
I dont think that baby would have lasted for an hour and a half in bnei brak heat.
Shut up with these dumb comments already! Where was the parent?
