Feeling very uncomfortable about what I've just seen

[thatverynightinmaxsroom]

It's a really miserable day here today - wet, windy etc. Just driving home and saw a little girl (7ish?) walking alone down the street. I slowed down because it's unusual to see kids of that age alone outside round here and unusual to see anyone outside on a day like this!
She was followed by a little boy, similar age. She turned into a front garden and I thought she was going in but she just looked through the window. The boy sat down on a mat on the pavement outside the house (there was quite a lot of junk in the front garden).

I turned the car round, put the window down and asked if they were okay. At that point a man out his head out and yelled at them to come in.

I know it's not massive, most of us have probably seen worse, but I can't get the image of the little boy sitting on the sodden mat out of my head and I'm just wondering if anyone would do anything about this.

Rubbish.

It was probably less than a 60 second snapshot, OP said she was driving (slowed, she said, not stopped).

Bloody hell!

I too must be neglecting my kids as none have a puddle suit (literally never heard of these before reading this ( and regularly let then out to play in the rain and snow etc.

I've also been known to shout if they are donor something silly (like sitting on a sodden mat in the garden) and would certainly raise my voice in urgency to get them inside if I saw a strange woman hanging out her car window trying to talk to them!! FFS what were you thinking?!
