Responsible Parenthood

But it is very dangerous outside, he could have left his child with someone too. that woman cared more for the house than the child.

This is very sad. I dont know what he was supose to do or how he was suppose to take care of himeself or be kept out of danger outside all day? Of course thats not the question. Why would any parent put their child in danger? I think its lack of parenting skills and maternal instinct. I could never leave my children alone. I have them with me at all times, if their not with me their in the care of somebody I trust. I always have to check my car if their not with me and I find myself looking around just out of habit needing to make sure they are okay. I know childcare is expensive, but there is always help. Its a sad situation and I think this boys parents just need some help in the skills of parenting. The parents probably just felt traped, they need to work to make ends meet, childcare is expensive, etc. No excuse for what they did, but I do believe they need help so hopefully this family can be reunited. As long as there are no other problems with the child.

That's just how it is now. In my opinion it's down right scary how parents treat their children. Parents can reject their kids or just plain ignore them but the good parents that dispipline our children need to worry if we're doing something that someone looking on would take it upon themselves to call Social Services. People worry to much about other people than they do about themselves and this is what happens.

Its very disappointing behaviour fro the child's parents. Putting a 3 year old alone is not a really good idea which i agree. But the idea of making him to wait outside all day is the worst ever! As i see in the situation the neighbour felt more concerned for hi thatn his own parents. There really needs to be a sense of responsibility from the parents side. its, right, if they cant love him and take his responsibility then they dont deserve to have him in the first place.

My gosh what was she thinking? Why would anyone leave a three year old child outside alone all day? That is certainly child endangerment, besides what if he was hungry or needed to go to the bathroom? How were those needs met? She should be put in jail! A child should not be left alone until they are probably at least 11 or 12 and then someone should be checking on them periodically. This mother doesn't deserve to have a child if she doesn't take care of him any better than that!

I could not write how this gets under my skin! You do not ever do that to a precious child! She needs parenting classes before they ever consider giving her the child back.

thats sad that things like this happen.

One should take care of the kid. The mother should stop working and took care of the baby,or maybe she can hire a nany for the kid while both are working and not leave the kid alone and outside the house? Guess the Social Welfare people had given the parents a warning,serves them right or else they surely lost custody of their own child due to being irresponsible.

those parents need psychological help... any normal person wouldn't leave a child outside alone... most of us here have our grandparents, or other relatives nearby, so they are the ones taking care of the children when the parents are at work... no one leaves his/her children alone at home... what were they thinking?!

That kind of news really make me sick. I really hate to hear children being abused by their parents. I'm a mother myself and i just couldn't stand hurting my child in that way, verbally and physically. I do discipline my child and sometimes hit him when he's being stubborn, but i do explain afterwards why i had to do that. My son would apologize and i don't see he has any remorse for me or his father when we reprimand him. In fact he loves us more and even says sorry when he's at fault. That mother should be held responsible for what she did to her baby. He's too young to be left alone much left locked outside. That's really a horrible thing to do.

Ohhh no really very sad event 3 year old boy. Now really in most of the cases mother is so careless. I have seen daily one news regarding small child like one child push his face in the cooker, a 7 year boy put his 2 years sister in washing machine and start the machine because he wants to clean their sister for fairness, she is mashed till mother is reached and third event is telling you. Really now mother is busy in their own activity and not pay attention on their child this is wrong. We all mothers should know child is wealth for us without child no life. So be careful and watch everytime where is your child.
