Dear Ann Landers,
Too many people think it's OK to leave a child unattended in an automobile while they go into a gas station or post office for \"just a minute.\" Whenever I am tempted to do this, I remember the day I brought my first-born child home from the hospital. My mother said, \"Don't ever leave your child in your car anywhere you wouldn't leave $1 million cash on the seat.\" If you run this in your column, Ann, please use my name. It would be a wonderful tribute to my very wise mother, who passed away two years ago this Christmas.

Dear Vicki,
Here is your letter and a very good one at that, I might add. It takes only a second to snatch a child. Your mother gave you excellent advice. I hope every mother who reads this will pay attention to her wise counsel.
