There is no federal law about leaving children unatt ended in cars. However, eleven states have strict laws about leaving young children alone, either in cars, in public places, or at home In those states, it is against the law to leave anyone in a car who cannot get out without help. sometimes, when a child is sleeping in the car and the parent doesn't want to wake the child up, the parent might decide to leave the child in the car and go into the store to get something. The parent can get arrested for this. similarly. it is against the law to leave a child alone at home or outside a public place like a restaurant. However, some states, like California, Hawaii, and Massachusetts, don't have any laws as yet about leaving children unattended in cars.Capital punishment (the death penalty) for serious crimes is a subject people always argue about. Most European countries do not have the death penalty. However, thirty-eight states in the United states have the death penalty, including California and New York. However, other states, like Hawaii and Alaska, don't have the death penalty. some states have a number of very strange old laws. Most people have never heard of these law. nobody gets arrested for breaking them, but they are still laws For example, in Kentucky,everybody must have a bath at least once a year In Indiana, you cannot travel on a bus less than four hours after you eat garlic In California, it is against the law to enter a restaurant on horse back
