I agree with breaking out the side window and of course it only makes sense for it to be the one furthest from the child. When I saw the baby passed through the broken glass, I felt that was not the best decision. Story ended well!
Years ago, I watched a young woman walk by my car, at Walmart. She had a head scarf and long skirt, it was August. As I exited my car a minute later, I heard what I thought was a cat, that had been left in her hot car. Looking in, I could see a very young baby in the back seat. Running, I caught up to her and just screamed "MAM". The second she looked at me it dawned on her what she had done. We raced back to the car and she unlocked it, grabbing the baby. Her mother had been taking care of the two month old any time she had to run an errand. Her mother was not available that day. She forgot the baby was in the car. That could have been a horrific ending. Due to her dress, I could stop her quickly. So glad I had noticed her!
So Surveyor, I only win by default? hummmm.
