Childminder leaves child in car

[AliceK]

Do you think this is actually a registered childminder? Surely someone registered would never do this??

I am just wounding how a 69 year is able to keep up with the kids she mindes, my kids grandparents are similar age and there's no way they could keep up each and every day.

I think childminders on the Independent Facebook page have written comments under the on-line article asking newspaper to state whether the 69 year old lady is actually a registered childminder or if this is just their generic term for childcarers (pity they didn't call her a babysitter like they normally call us). If not a registered childminder they have asked paper to print an apology - haven't looked on there to see if there is an update, also would this story have made the headlines if child was left by parent, answer "of course not, they do it all the time". (Not of course agreeing that it is right whoever leaves them).
