To be shocked by this...

[AlleyCat11]

I looked out the window, at work, to see two kids inside a Range Rover parked outside. On a busy High Street. Then I noticed that they were alone...
The little girl, about three years old, climbed on top of her baby brother, who was in a carry cot, & started attacking him. I remember doing the same to my baby brother when I was that age.
But there was nobody there to stop her, so she punched, scratched & shouted at him for ten minutes non-stop.
Then she climbed into the front seat, opened the car door & escaped... I ran out into the street in the lashing rain. She was nowhere to be seen. I went around the corner. No little girl.
Then I see her running alongside a man (Dad?) who jogs up to check that baby is in the car, nods & buggers off again, with her.
Another ten minutes pass & Dad returns with little girl & big brother. He bundles the wet children into the car & drives off, not a glance at the baby.
I'm not a mum, so I never usually comment on parenting. But, bloody hell... Would you have said something to him?

Yes I would have said something. I would also have rapped on the car window to stop her, and called the police once I'd seen the baby be left completely alone for 10 mins.

You watched a 3 year old punch and scratch a baby in a carry cot and did nothing?

How come the baby wasn't in a car seat, and properly strapped in? I can't remember the last time I saw a baby in a carrycot in a car.

You should have called when you noticed that they were alone and the 3 year old was loose in the car with a baby imo.

I've seen babies in carrycots - forget which brand does them, though, not very common

interfering would be telling them they were rude to snatch of daddy. not trying to stop an attack which is what it was. If the baby was small a three year old could easily smother or break an arm.or leg or neck. If you had time to.watch fir ten mins you had time to.k luck. on a window. would you sit there and watch two adults fight?

The dad pulled off you say? If the three year old dislodged a strap or moved teh head funny one sudden turn and the baby could be seriously injured.

Ffs

Um, not trolling. I obviously did not have the right reaction to this situation. I know now to intervene. I know nothing about car seats / carry cots etc, the boy was strapped into something.

But how could you see he was in a carrycot, they are flat and I would have thought you wouldn't have seen it above the car door?

Perhaps play fighting can be full on. I do not have any parenting experience of it. I don't think she injured her brother, from what I could see.

A boy?
You must have had a ring side seat.

Well funnily enough many injuries won't be clear through darkened glass watching from a distance.

that's why drs examin and x rays were discovered

Might aswel say the car turned into a griffin before flying off and dropping the family into a volcano

If you don't believe it, report it. Have any of you troll hunters reported it?

If so, you might also want to report your own troll hunting posts which break mn guidelines.

Yes, I've reported it. Report me if you want. I do love a stickler.

I was in a drive through local supermarket last year when a woman walked in and started shouting at another woman for leaving her two kids, one a toddler and one a baby in a car while the engine was running. She totally ripped the woman to shreds!

What, I would be a stickler to report your post but you would not be a stickler to report OP's?
