Last night I took my sons for an evening walk in the wagon around the mobile home park where we live. Yes, there are a number of Jerry Springer want-a-bees running around. Anyway, on our walk, there were a number of people at the pool and kids riding their bikes and people sitting on their porches. Well, on this one row of houses, I saw three kids that ranged in ages from 3-5 with no parents in sight. The kids were running in the street and riding their bigwheels without any cares at all. But no parents anywhere. No wonder why kids end up drowning in swimming pools and getting abducted.
No one is watching their kids. Do they just not care? I just don't understand. I watch my kids like a hawk because I don't trust anyone. I couldn't live with myself if I let something happen to them. Maybe I am too protective, but at least my 2 and 3 yr olds are not running around outside with no supervision.
Can anyone out there explain to me how a parent can leave a 3yr old outside to run around up and down the street while they sit inside?
It really makes me mad when I see things like that. Like wanting to beat on the parents mad. But, I know that if they are stupid and uncaring enough to leave their kids alone like that, then a beating wouldn't do any good.
