Why are they so careless?

I don't let my children go far from my sight. My oldest is 13 and I allow him to walk 2 blocks from our house to the carry out. If he is gone longer than I think he should be I will go look for him. I see children playing all the time without their parents around and it really makes me mad because most of them are getting into trouble and causing problems in my neighborhood.

I never did such thing when my kids are still young and small. I always looked after them every time we are walking outside the house. I know that leaving them unattended is dangerous. Somebody really don't care for their young's and I feel sad for them. It was really hard to lost a child in a crowded places as well as in the park alone. That was incidentally happened to my sister and almost a day before we found her.

My kids do not get to go wander off and play where I cannot see them unless we are in the house. I would never let them wander around at the park without me there.

I do not have kids, but I am always horrified by some of the awful stories I hear about in the news involving children being kidnapped, or assaulted or worse. I do think that parents need to be extremely careful as there are clearly a number of very sick minded people out there.

I will never leave children to play alone without someone watching them. I have two nephew and one niece. When i'm not with them, i will always watch them carefully when they want to play out of home. It's very important because there are alot of cars out there and we know that children still don't understand anything about traffic. Sometimes if i saw them playing unattended by my sister-in-law, i will screaming to my sister-in-law and makes angry to her because of her careless. This is a serious problem. Who want to responsible if something bad happened to them? Of course that's all are our responsibility. So i hate those parents who leaving their children playing unattended, especially if those children are still in baby ages (under 5 years). I think what you saw on the park was really a horrible thing. I myself can't leave those children playing unattended even only in our home, how can there's a parents who can leaving their small children playing unattended in public area. I'm sure if i were you, i will find that parents and makes angry to them. This is all about parents' responsibility, and that's all are controlled under the law. If any parents who didn't caring on their children, then those parents can be processed by the law. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

I don't have children yet but I don't consider letting kids to play unattended a nice idea. As you said, we have so many children lifters around so i cannot afford to lose them. I wonder why the parents are careless to the point of leaving their children to wander around, out of sight, knowing it was evening where kids are most vulnerable. It was such big question to me as to why? Why?

The only time I ever leave my child out of my site,is when we are at home and she is in another room. I check on her frequently as she has seizures and I have to double check for them. She is 6. I don't understand how people can do this. In this day and age it is unacceptable to leave your children outside playing in the open without anyone to watch them. I get scared when the neighborhood kids ride the bikes past my house,I am always watching outside the window just in case.

I have two boys, 8 and almost 3 and I would NEVER imagine leaving them unattended! With the way the world is, unfortunately it has come to that point where you should have to keep a close eye on your kids, no matter what age, at all times. I remember growing up we were able to stay out after dark, and there were no concerns. Or we were able to leave the door open and the windows open for fresh air. Now that is completely unheard of! I live in a country right now that "supposedly" have no concerns about molesters and issues like that. People allow their kids to walk to school by themselves or ride the bus into town alone! I was shocked when I first saw a child on the bus and wandering the streets unsupervised! As for leaving kids to play at the park, I am always right by my kids side, and not just because of bad people out there who enjoy harming our children. But also to help protect them from other kids. Sometimes there are kids who go around the park just picking fights with the smaller kids, and make them cry so they can have a good laugh. I was just at the park the other day and this "bully" came up to my almost 3 year old and pushed him off of the swing so that he could have it. I was so mad, but again I am in a foreign country and can't communicate enough to be able to tell that child what he did was wrong. I looked around to see if his mother or father were around, and if they were they sure didn't make notice they were. Some people! Sorry I kind went on a rampage here! Have a Blessed Day.
