| 14 | accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act.
| ||||||
| 15 | (b) A trier of fact may infer that a child 6 years of age or | ||||||
| 16 | younger is unattended if that child is left in a motor
vehicle | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | for more than 10 minutes.
| ||||||
| 2 | (c) "Unattended" means either: (i) not accompanied by a | ||||||

out of sight of that person.
| ||||||
| 5 | (d) Sentence. A violation of this Section is a Class A | ||||||
| 6 | misdemeanor. A second or
subsequent violation of this Section | ||||||
| 7 | is a Class 3 felony. A violation of this Section that is a | ||||||
| 8 | proximate cause of bodily harm to the child is a Class 4 | ||||||

be | ||||||
| 12 | sentenced to a term of not less than 2 years and not more than | ||||||
| 13 | 10 years. A parent, who is found to be in violation of this | ||||||
