CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (AP) -- Police in northwest Georgia have rescued a boy from a hot car where his mother's companion is accused of tying him up.

Ringgold, Georgia, police say a Cracker Barrel restaurant employee called police after seeing Raymond Minchew take the 6-year-old out of the restaurant and return without him -- then finished eating his meal. Ringgold is 13 miles southeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Police found the bound boy sitting in the car, crying.

Sgt. John Gass says the child was soaked with sweat and had a rope tied to one of his ankles. Gass says the temperature was in the 80s Saturday in Ringgold.

The 61-year-old Minchew and the boy's mother -- 35-year-old Rachel Gilchrist -- were arrested and charged with cruelty to children and concealing a weapon. There was a handgun in the car.

Investigators believe the boy was in the hot car for about a half hour.

Gass says the couple contended the boy had misbehaved, although witnesses at the restaurant disagreed.

The boy has been placed in protective custody.

The parents should be put in the protective custody of a shallow unmarked grave.

That would be too kind.

Drop them off in the middle of Moab somewhere 10+ miles from anything in the middle of July/August, and tell them good luck.

Or,

Lock them in a car with their ankles bound. Make sure the vehicle is in the middle of Texas during July/August.

Those motherfuckers need to pay. and any so called court system justice is no justice at all.

Holy cow! If the kid goes to the car, a parent goes to . . . and stays until the problem (if there really was one) is resolved.


Sad.

I never specified how they should wind up there. No sense in dragging it out though, a round to the hear and flop em in their grave. No muss no fuss, but make them dig the hole first.

My first thoughts were these people should die. Then I thought, why not just tie them up and stick them in a hot car until they die.
