Irresponsible motherhood.

Last night, we had a dinner with our friends. Four of my friends went ahead to the venue while my husband and I were late as the latter was still snoring. So I told them that we could be there in an hour. By the time we arrived, two of my friends were not there. So the remaining two, told us that they had just left. The reason was that someone messaged them that their dog had bitten a two-year old kid. Well, it was like this. The dog was inside their house and she just gave birth. Now, the kid, who lived far from my friend’s house, went to their house and seeing those cute fat puppies, walking around their yard, got in and picked one of them. This infuriated the mom, and she bit the kid’s shoulder. And the mom’s kid? She was busy watching TV, not knowing that her two-year old kid was wandering around. Imagine, two-year old. He can barely walk. And yet he had gone to someone’s house! Very irresponsible motherhood indeed!

OMG!!! Although still the responsibility of the dog owner to shoulder medical expenses for the kid. But the mother is indeed irresponsible to leave her 2 year old kid to roam around neighborhood unassisted. It's just too bad they cannot argue the mother's irresponsibility for the dog's action.

You are right. But the owner still paid for the injections. Both had faults but as a mother, she should have not let her two-year old kid out of the house and wander around. They were not neighbors, they lived far from each other.

@Janet357 Yeah they cannot make excuse for the irresponsibility of the mother it. It just is annoying that this happened because no one is attending to the innocent toddler beaten by also an innocent mother who is protecting her puppies. Both the mother and the pet owners are being inconvenient by it.

@rsa101 yes, i felt sorry for my friend because they had so many expenses from domestic to some land dispute, you know, and here, injections for rabies which did not come cheap.

Gotta keep an eye on those two year olds. They get out, and go places we would never think of. I hope the mom watches better in the future.

I hope she learned now the lesson to always close the door. What if the kid got hit by a car?

Oh wow. That is horrible. I hope she learned her lesson and the dog bite wasn't serious.

I hope so too, otherwise, my friend would be in trouble. They would blame her even if she did pay for the anti-rabies injections.

How far was it? Two-year old baby should not be left alone walking.

@Janet357 17 years old, that is why but I am not generalizing it. I am thinking that she is not yet well aware of what to do.

I agree. It was very irresponsible of the mother not to keep and eye on her child.

Was the door opened? Its not always possible to walk behind the kid. Was anybody present except those two? Just pray that the kid was in a better condition.
