Honey, Did You Pack The Trunk?

A DC man is accused of locking his two daughters, ages 9 and 11, in the trunk of his car. The incident took place on a 90 (32.2 Celsius) degree day in Massachusetts while 48 year old Michael Fekete was visiting his mother in a nursing home. Fekete was arrested and charged with child endangerment after witnesses called police.

In his defense, Fekete says that his daughters being locked in the trunk of the car because it gives them a chance to play with the glow-in-the-dark emergency release handle located inside.

Why are people so upset by this? The man locked his own kids in that trunk. It's not like he kidnapped someone else's children and lured them into the trunk. Besides, playing with a glow-in-the-dark plastic handle while trapped inside an oven sounds like a fun game. Heck, I may even try it myself this afternoon!

And why was it even the business of those "witnesses" to get involved in a total stranger's parenting methods? Shouldn't they instead be looking for carloads of exploding Muslim doctors headed for the local airport?

Besides, it's not like The guy took his daughters to Spain and forced them to run with the bulls.
