"A new Vermont law that took effect July 1 will shield people from civil liability when they break into a locked vehicle to rescue a child or dog that is in “imminent danger of harm.”
"In addition to protecting citizens that take necessary steps to rescue distressed pets, Vermont prosecutors can also cite the owner for animal cruelty for leaving a dog in a hot car." - No mention of children there, though.
If you're speaking about the article from the Dogington Post, that's probably why. The whole site is about dogs.
And to he!! with the law if I saw a baby, child, dog, or anything living in a hot car in distress, I'd be doing something, even if that meant someone's broken window.
