Child protection laws were meant to protect kids from parents that forget about them in the car while they do shopping or do whatever else, especially on hot days. Those laws were most certainly not meant for cases like this. As an example, there's a 3 minute limit in California for how long you can leave a child unattended in a car. I think it's set at 3 minutes because that's how long a car can take to heat up in the middle of summer.
