Hi everyone so was just looking for some answers about what other people thought about this before I think about doing something about it.
There is a little boy in my daughters class, his dad usually brings him and picks him up from school,I see them most days as we usually arrive at the same time and at the kids school we have to queue up outside the gate when dropping off/picking up.
For the past few weeks I’ve noticed this child’s father, who has a small daughter who he usually brings with him, I’d say she was around 2, definitely no more than 3 years old. His son is 5 the same as my daughter they are both in reception,so still very young children. I’ve noticed for a few weeks now he literally leaves the kids alone in the queue in the morning when he wants to move his car or if he seems to forget something from his car, he just leaves them both their ( remember they are 5 and about 2) and crosses the street. Last Friday I was walking to collect my daughter up from school and I walked past this parents car and saw his young daughter asleep in the car in her car seat all alone,whilst he was waiting on the other side of the road in the queue to pick up his son, he was stood on the queue for about 5 mins and it takes around 5 mins to get around the school and out again due to the one way system, i thought it was irresponsible because even though it was a short amount of time anything could have happened to her, she could have woke up crying or god knows what.
So anyway this morning I go to drop my kids off at school as usual,see him waiting in the queue with his son ( no daughter ) queued behind him and literally seen him go across the street to his car, take out his young daughter from the back seat and put her in the front passenger seat of the car and rolled down the window for her,locked her in and went back to the queue with his son, I was right behind them in the queue and when I was leaving school he was just getting into his car,there was no other adult in the car so again he literally left his young child alone in the car to drop of his son,this time full my awake, in the front seat with the window down,she could have been taken,considering he put her in the front what if she would have touched something or touched the clutch. After seeing this again I have been thinking about bringing this up to my daughters teacher as I’m concerned anything could happen and god knows how many times he has been leaving his child in the car alone as I’ve already seen him do it twice.
Wdyt? Should I tell the teacher
