Whilst she went into side to drop of her children. It was off nursery premises and she works part time and children attend the nursery as well.

Aibu to report it? She does it daily.

What’s her crime here?

Well, it is illegal…

What does “into side” mean?

How old are the children?
Our nursery have a blanket ban on leaving any siblings in the car when dropping off children, so they would absolutely want this reported.
The fact the car is left running is a massive worry. I still remember my siblings and I being left in a car whilst my mum popped in somewhere, we were messing about and one of us knocked the handbrake off and we started rolling down the hill, luckily my older sister knew how to stop it, otherwise it could have been an awful situation.
So yes. I would

At what point did it say children were left in car

Report to who? What business is it of yours?

What business is it if gets if her and other children have to breath in poisonous fumes?
Pollution causes death and is responsible for global warming.

It’s illegal to leave an unattended car with the engine running and the insurance is negated.

I'd think she was foolish, because someone could just steal her car while she was in the nursery, but I wouldn't "report it" (to whom?)

Have you nothing else to worry about today??
Please, there are bigger things in life to get your knickers in a twist over.

Why? Nothing better to do?

Samesame47 · 06/05/2026 09:11

What was the issue you wanted to report? Did she leave children in the car? I’m confused by what you want to report

CloudyBayPlease · 06/05/2026 09:10

What exactly are you reporting her for?

I’d love to know this and to whom you’d report it 😂

YourShyLion · 06/05/2026 09:10

It's absolutely none of your business or that of the nursery for that matter.

Report her for what?
