This makes me sick.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- When some restaurant workers in Ringgold, Georgia, saw a man take a young boy outside, and return without him to finish eating, they got suspicious. Police responded, and found the crying six-year-old boy tied up in a sweltering car outside the restaurant. Police think he was tied up for about 30 minutes, while his mother and her companion finished eating inside the restaurant near Chattanooga, Tennessee. A police sergeant says the boy "had a rope tied to one of his ankles." He says he was "just sweating, just soaking." The outdoor temperature on Saturday was in the 80s. The boy's mother and her male companion were charged with cruelty to children and with concealing a weapon. Police found a handgun in the car. The mother is still in custody. The man has been released on bond. Police say the couple told them the boy had misbehaved, although witnesses disagree. Either way, police say, it doesn't matter. The boy is now in state protective custody.

Wow, that is awful.
 That's interesting that they let the companion go, but kept the mother in jail. Oh, maybe the mom couldn't afford bail and that's why she's still in jail. I'm glad the boy is safe now. Poor kid.

How could they do that to begin with in this heat we are having anyway. The weather in TN is so close to what we are having, I am surprised the child is okay. They should tie them up in a hot car but where they can watch other eat and drink while they suffer. Wouldn't do for me to make the laws for cases like this.

I'm just so glad that someone saw them do that and called the police, and that the boy was okay.
