It's the parents' responsibility to look after their own children, not
the responsibility of other people. If parents can't look after their
own children properly we already have methods for dealing with it.
If you're worried about leaving your children in the back of the car, go
ahead and buy a warning device but don't expect me to pay for it.

I hear you, Bob (and others). But perhaps you could then explain me
why buckling up has been made mandatory in many countries including, I
believe, United States, Great Britain and Israel. After all, by the
same logic, it is driver's own responsibility to use the seat belt and
as such, if one is stopped by the police car for inspection and found
not wearing the seat belt, it is of no concern of the police officer,
as it has to do only with the driver's personal safety.
I am sorry, Bob, although I think I understand at least some of your
argument and the sense behind it, I don't buy it.
Boris
It shouldn't be. But I'm a libertarian, if you want to commit suicide
it's none of my concern, as long as you don't take unwilling others with
you.
The state gets to make decisions for you and eventually you end in the
position where everything not prohibited is requited. Hell even God
allows for free will.
