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?
