Would you leave your 5 years old all alone for all morning under the pretex you have to go food shopping...

[Ploufplouf]

and taking him would make things difficult ? My Sil did it, he didnt want to come, so he became stroppy resulting in My Sil leaving my nephew behind..for 3 hours playing with the wii..Just a rant, I know nobody in their right mind whowould do that.

[maidamess]

5 years old? Thats crazy!

[Ploufplouf]

She's ignorant, I cant believe she did that

[RubySlippers]

really! She left a 5 year old with no supervision for 3 hour - i am

that is UTTERLY appalling

[lulumama]

sorry, she left a 5 year old alone in the house for 3 hours?

[dizzydixies]

5yr old alone in house with no supervision at all

and she TOLD you???!!!

[RubySlippers]

ignorant - neglectful IMO

[singyswife]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ploufplouf]

She told me and she was actually laughing about it..seeing nothing wrong

[dizzydixies]

silly cow

sorry to speak so ill of your family but what if the house had gone on fire or he'd hurt himself

[WigWamBam]

Is this for real?

And if it is, do you intend to do anything about it? Because that is neglect.

[lulumama]

if anything happened to the child when she was gone, she would be in serious trouble with the law.

sad that a 5 year old could sit and play for 3 hours on a wii and not miss his parents

what if he fell and banged his head? suddenly felt unwell? was hungry ?

farking stupid and irresponsible behaviour

[Ploufplouf]

And to makes things worst the "local" supermarket is 16 km away from their house, they live in the countryside

[RubySlippers]

i am with WWB - this is really serious stuff

[BibiThree]

That is disgusting. Anyting could have happened, thankfully it didn't, but oh my god

[windygalestoday]

thats pretty bad imo

[Ploufplouf]

You can speak ill about my sil, I dont mind, in this case, she has been a complete idiote. She's absolutely useless with her children. She has 3, one is 7, middle one is 5 and the baby as she call him is almost 3. They are total bratt and they do almost whatever they want to do.

[lulumama]

brats or not, she is risking their lives and her own liberty

am not surprised they play up, if they don;t have to do anything they don;t want to

[Ploufplouf]

But leaving her 5 years old son behind because she didnt want to face a tantrum is just unbelievable...sorry for the rant, I dont usually rant about my family but what she has done is beyond everything

[lulumama]

if she was my SIL, i would be considering anonymous call to Social services, could not forgive myself if something happend... does her DH know she does this?

i am really, geniuinley shocked!

DS is 8.6 and i would not leave him alone in the house yet.

[Ploufplouf]

I didnt dare asking her if she was doing it often..she says she just has to leave him with the wii and he's ok.

[WallOfSilence]

Yes we all agree on that ploufplouf, the question is: What are you going to do about it?

[Ploufplouf]

I dont know if my brother knows about it, he was not there when she told me..they are in France so I dont know how the law is towards parents leaving their children to look after themselves for a while

[WallOfSilence]

You didn't dare ask her..... right.

You do realise this is a serious matter? I have a 6yr old & there's no way I would leave her for 30mins alone, never mind all morning.

It doesn't bear thinking about.

[Ploufplouf]

What can I do ? I'm in England and they are in France..I cant do that to my brother, can I ? I dont even know if he knows.
