To have called the police

[AriesTheRam]

I work in School and finished around an hour ago (not classroom staff)
As me and colleague left we saw a tiny girl walking a dog alone id say she looked around 2 at the oldest.We asked her if she was OK and where she lived but she didn't really know what we were saying.It was a busy main road we were on so I rang the police to let them know the child was alone.Id been on the phone for a min when mum came round the corner panicked.
A sibling had left the gate unlocked and the child had wandered out apparently.
I've since had a phone call back from the police who asked me questions about the appearance of the child etc and they said they were going to do a welfare check.

Would you have done the same? I feel bad that the family will be visited i suppose.

You definitely did the right thing! (I'm a police officer) Well done you.
May I ask, the mum said she was in the garden and got out, but you say the kid was walking a dog? Did she get a lead herself and start walking it or was the dog just with her without a lead?

Definitely the right thing, if it was my kids i'd want someone to phone the police, and i'd do the same, anything could have happened to her and the dog!

@WorraLiberty so I can get a list of all the snarky comments you constantly post? Nah. Gets a bit boring after a while.
