PORIRUA, New Zealand, March 25 (UPI) -- Shoppers at a New Zealand store said they were shocked to see a baby left alone in a car with a note and phone number from the mother.

A man who asked not to be named told The New Zealand Herald he arrived with his family at the Pak'n'Save in Porirua around 9 a.m. Saturday and he spotted a baby alone in a neighboring car.

It's finally good to see that parents are taking the responsibility of providing their contact info in the event their baby has any issues when they are locked alone in the car! We've come so far as a society!

Everybody my age, in America and New Zealand and everywhere else, was often left unattended as babies, and we all survived, with a lot more emotional stability than people of younger generations who were constantly fussed over and "protected".

It used to be normal to leave babies in strollers on the sidewalk outside stores while the mom shopped inside.
