Why did you feel guilty UNTIL you read my post?? "She was enjoying a sauna", what's that about???
Did you not read what I wrote? My concern wasn't that the maid didn't have water ... I was concerned at your lack of actions, you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help her situation
You thought she was locked in and still walked on by.
The windows in the car, fair enough she may not know how to "roll" sorry "wind" them down (I know modern cars don't have the rolling action anymore to get them down, but I am stuck in the 80's still with my terminology) my point was you didn't do anything. That is what angered me. You didn't even try.
(By the way, some cars you have 3 minutes or so when you can still use the windows when engine is off ... but again, this is not my actual point)
You posted on here and expatwoman about the situation (with responses back to your post saying for you to not worry), this is why I had to say something, you should worry, you should have felt bad.
A question for you to ponder, if it was reported in the paper that a housemaid died in locked car in carpark, would you have posted that you saw it but did nothing????
As for your example of not saying anything to the employer of a maid sitting alone in a restaurant, while I think that is bad, it is not life threatening.
By the way, I have put my neck out here in saving a maid, and I felt wonderful for doing it. She is now happily back in the Philliphines.
Your quoting religion and islam in your post is irrelevant. It is down to what is in your own heart.
I hope that you have learnt from this experience, and next time will actually do something concrete when you see somone who is in a potential life threatening situation. I do believe you have a good heart, as you were concerned ... but you must do something when you think someones life is in danger.
That is the message we should all get from this thread.
Your response to my post is very confusing.
