The other day at sainsburys I was walking back to my car with the shopping and my kids.
The car parked next to me had 2 small boys in the back in their car seats.
Boy 1 must have been about 1 and crying his eyes out.
Boy 2 was about 3 or 4 with his hands covering his ears because of brothers screams!
My son who is 4 said to me "oh that baby is crying whats wrong?"
I said "well they're on their own darling, I think he probably wants his mummy"
So I stood there for a couple of minutes, dumb stuck to be honest, wondering what to do and how people could do this sort of thing.
The mum then showed up with at least 2 bags of shopping in each hand, calling to the boy (through the open window which any weirdo could have snatched them), "oh it's ok mummy's here".
Well, I gave her the look and loudly (so she could hear) discussed with my children how you should not leave children alone in the car.
Now I know how some people will try to look at this from both sides, but trust me she was not just returning her trolley or anything like that. And she must have been in the shop some time to fill at least 4 bags with shopping.
Now, she wasn't the sort of person you would assume, she was well into her 30's, nice new 4x4....very middle class.
I did take her registration number because at one point I wondered if I should call the police, do you think I should still report her?
