Today I was waiting for a train with my DC. A couple of women were also waiting with a twin pushchair that had a boy and girl in of about two years old. The girl was asleep and had three bruises on her face, she was wearing just a t shirt, thin trousers and no shoes or socks. The boy was wearing the same and his nose, face and arms were bright red - he looked frozen. We were waiti for half hour and they didn't speak to him once. He stared into the middle distance and they occasionally threw a crisp into his pushchair and laughed at him scrabbling to find it He too had several visible bruises.
The other day I saw a mum grabbing her child by the scruff of her neck in the supermarket car park. In the park a few weeks ago I found a three year old wandering alone heading towards the road and when I found the mum she pulled his trousers down and smacked him for running off.
Today's incident really makes me want to cry. If they can be that awful to him in public, I hate to imagine his home life. Aibu to wish there was something you could do to help children in these sorts of situations?
