I was driving into my subdivision after running errands. When I rounded a corner, I noticed a little boy standing in the middle of the street, wearing pajamas, barefoot, with a binky in his mouth. I slammed on my breaks and looked around for an adult only to see absolutely nobody. I parked my car, jumped out and went to the boy where he proceeded to run away. I mentally fought myself on whether I should pick the child up or follow him and ultimately followed him. All of a sudden, three smaller children walk out from around a corner. They were maybe 6, 4, and about the same age as the tiny boy. The conversation went like this:
"Do you know this boy?"
" Yes he's my brother."
"How old is he?"
"1"
"Where's your mom or dad?"
"In the house."
"Go get them."
Mom walks out where I immediately let into her:
"Do you realize your son was standing in the middle of the busy street alone?"
Pointing to the 6 year old, she responds, "She was supposed to be watching him!"
"SHE'S a kid. YOU'RE supposed to be the adult!"
The rest was all blah blah blah blah blah. I left, so upset, crying my eyes out. I called the police as soon as I got home. I can't believe some people are permitted to reproduce! I pray to God those kids are safe.
