https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/severely-disabled-washington-woman-28-left-abandoned-towed-car-9-days-rcna17577Police said the woman was last seen on Feb. 5 when her mother parked her car at a gas station in Kent then walked away, leaving her inside.
A woman described as severely disabled was left abandoned inside a towed car in Washington amid freezing temperatures for nine days, after she was left in the vehicle by her mother, police say.
The womans sister called the Kent Police Department on Feb. 14 saying her adult sister, who she described as "severely disabled" had not been seen since earlier in the month, police said in a news release Tuesday.
The investigation found the woman was last seen on Feb. 5 when her mother, 45, parked her vehicle at a gas station in Kent then walked off, with the daughter still in the car.

(10,749 posts)1. It seems we ask this question daily
What have we become?
It seems that was the mother's plan. So she's just evil.
What about the folks at the gas station? The tow truck drivers. The impound lot. Does no on pay attention? Are we all just walking aimlessly through our daily routines? Sure, the sister finally called the police, but after how long?
We are a savage nation.
