When you see a 1-year old baby running around outside, and the parents are unware, don't you get pissed off?

Question

The other day, I was washing my car, and my neighbor was gossiping with another neighbor, while her 1-year old baby was left unattended dancing and running around the street. Then, the baby tripped, and started rolling on the floor. To my horror, a car appears, and nearly hits the baby. Luckily, I ran in front of the car, and it wasn't speeding. I told the mother to learn to be a better mother, and guess what she tells me? "Mind your bussiness, this is my baby" Not a single thankyou. I wanted to slap that biotch smack on the face, and call a social worker.

Answer 1

i would call children and youth and report the facts..

i had an incident recently at my doctors when i was setting up my next appt. a little girl walks up gives me her toys to play with and the parents say nothing. the little girl stood there and walked off.
and i went to leave and i gave the little girl her toys and opened the door to leave. the little girl started to follow me out the door and still not a word from the parents. i told the little girl sorry but i have to go i cant play toys. and the little girl got upset. i felt bad for the little girl. oh and did i mention the mom was obviously pregnant with another?

also a former neighbor i found out was getting high and left her 5 and 8 year old boys running around the city streets till she was done with her friends 5 year old boy and <1 year old girl. thankfully now those children are safe in better homes- after one of 5 year old boys ran away and mommy did go looking for him till late at night.+

Answer 2

Oh hunny, a child hit by a car is just the start. Dont these parents ever stop and think that a child could be abducted and taken nearly right in from of you? Once that child is taken dont these parents realize that they close to never come home?
I just cant believe what some of these people are thinking!

I was in the grocery store a couple of weeks ago and there was a mother and her 2 daughters, they were a little older and i observed that the mother wasnt even paying attentions to her kids, just shopping.
Next thing i know im walking down this isle and the mother is there, and her 2 kids are NOWHERE around!
I walked down the milk and dairy isle shortly there after and one of the little girls has the milk cooler open and BAM the door shuts her in there. I ran over, grabbed her hand, pulled her already stuck foot out of the cooler and walked her over to her mother.
No reaction from the mom, no thank you, no 'im sorry', no telling the kid to stay with her.
I was shocked. I just wanted to go back and say "do you know what happens to little girls? the fact that i grabbed this little girls hand and she walked away willingly with me, ARE YOU CRAZY!?"

I just cant believe it.

Answer 3

i do no longer think of his habit is unusual in any respect, or maybe nonetheless there may be different toddlers sitting quietly, remind your self that each and each baby is distinctive. giggling and working away are his way of sorting out you. you may desire to do away with him from the placement whilst he shows this habit. provide him a warning and then get up and leave. attempt to stay calm and say, "You climbed on the table and that may not ok. you're no longer likely to play alongside with your persons now." attempt to discover methods to keep away from saying "No" repeatedly. as an occasion, if he's status up in a chair say, "Chairs are for sitting". additionally be sure your son has a lot of places that are ok for mountain climbing, leaping and customarily working around like a wild monkey guy. enormous toys in the backyard, a bean bag in the homestead that he can flop on, a lot of journeys to the park...severe potential teenagers desire a launch! If the climate is undesirable, turn on the radio and have some exciting leaping up & right down to the music.

Answer 4

Yep. It just means they are verrry irresponsible. If that were me that you saved from getting ran over, my mother would be thanking you until the end of time! I can see why you would want to slap her, and you SHOULD call a social worker. Just don't worry about her. Next time just don't help the baby and see what she does!

Answer 5

Unfortunately, there will always be people in this world who

a) don't know how to take care of their children
and
b) are ungrateful

I truly feel bad for this child. Just know that you did the right thing though!

Once when I was about 4, this lady who couldn't control her daughter went ballistic in the park and mistook me for her kid and slapped me on the face!!! Needless to say, my mother had some very "kind" words for her!!!

Answer 6

She sounds like she deserves a giant smack for that one. Sadly , I have seen many parents like that, they just don't seem to care until it is too late. You should keep an eye on that family and if you see any other behavior like that you should call children services before something really bad happens to that baby.

Answer 7

That totally PISSES ME OFF! The next time you see it call CPS(Child protective services) and report her. If that doesn't make her wise up then continue doing it until CPS has had enough! I would have smacked her in the face!

Answer 8

Call 1-800-422-4453. Report the obvious neglect you witnessed. Do not add any personal opinions just the exact truth of this and any other things you have seen.

Answer 9

yes the parents need a smack or some thing that is crap

Answer 10
