Neighbour giving my kids sweets

Every time my kids are playing in the garden my neighbour gives them sweets/food over the fence. She’s a sweet elderly neighbour who lives alone in her late 70s/early 80s. I know her name, her daughter visits her and we say hello but that’s it. She’s just started giving them sweets or food for the past 2-3 months. I never see her give them this, I’m always inside and they’ll come in saying x neighbour gave them this, can they eat it? I just check for use by date/ gelatine, and just let them eat it.

She’ll give them crisps, sweets, cakes, juices. So far they’ve been in the garden since 2pm and they’ve come in with werthers original sweets and juice. I don’t know why I’m writing this tbh, what would you do?

Ilovepixie, you have a seriously distorted view of reality. There are police officers on this thread who deal with child sex offenders regularly. To see an elderly, lonely lady who seeks joy in giving children some treats as a predator is fucking insane.

My neighbour is 88 she is a very proud lady, weekly hairdresser visits pre covid.
She drops in a selection box at Christmas an egg at Easter, we send a thank you card she could talk the legs off a donkey it is important for DC to see these qualities.
I loved a hard boiled sweet from a neighbour on my granny's street as a DC.
