$100
Under California law, you may not leave a child aged 6 or younger alone in a motor vehicle if the engine is running, the keys are still in the ignition, or the conditions inside the car might endanger the child’s health or safety. If you are convicted of doing so, you will be fined $100. (Note: If you are not able to afford the $100 fine, you may instead complete a community education program on the dangers of leaving children alone in motor vehicles.)
