Here's another reason why you don't do something like leaving a 5 year old in a running car alone and unattended for a half hour. I'll start the what if's now since unproven theories have started to take over this thread, what if your child whom some think is smart enough at 5 years old to be alone like that, opened the door and left the car. Keeping in mind that at five years old they can't read really or write sentences for that matter but is somehow able to manage themselves alone for a half hour. What if they perhaps walked out into the street and got hit by a car, how would the parent feel about that? Should they blame the person who hit the kid that stepped out from behind a parked car and was so small they never saw them? Let's be real people doing something like leaving your child in that situation is just plain stupid and reckless and I don't want to hear about, but it was for only a minute. You don't leave your child like that at 5 years old EVER!! You should be brought up on charges of child abandonment.
