eh, ok...not one to criticise usually but..............

Friend is 25.
Her sister is 12, and an immature 12.

Anyway, Friends sister went to friends to see her niece & nephew, 16mths & 8wks. Friend went to her Sisters house leaving her Sister at hers for the night, alone with an 8wk old & 16mo....
Friend will be home tomorrow around 11am..

AIBU to think this is so so wrong?

'Lilyloo I'm posting on Mnet cos I am looking for advice, I dont know the first thing about reporting someone'

Maybe an aibu thread is not ideally the best place to ask for advice then.
Ring the police .........
Social services..........

Well, I got quick replies so thankyou everyone. But the Children (all 3 of them) are safe and with their father as well as the 12yo.

yay - the father is there! We can all collectively exhale.

Just to clarify - the kids are at home with their Dad, not on their own OP?

Gosh.
Is there some kind of Hysteria Gas in the air tonight??
You all seem rather giddy

whoops xposts

No address cos she moved v v recently into temp. housing and its not what I ask for? I dont write letters, I know where she lives just not the address and details.

Ah god I posted, the Children are not alone with the 12yo..I rest my case!

8wk old & 16mo at home with their Dad & the 12yo.

The 12yo told me just now she was looking after them and her sister had gone to her Mums, they'd done 'Swappzee's' as she put it. She didnt say ANYTHING about the Childrens Father still being there.

did you really think your FRIEND had done this?? if so why didnt you phone her straight away and talk to her?? ...

Didnt think of that ControlFreak...

Sorry am super thick at time.....Ah well least they are safe.

did someone really suggest that 999 was appropriate?
Wow!

oh right.

Biscuit 3 minors left alone why not 999 ???

Well good job in hindsight you posted on here whilst you got the full facts of the story from your friend's sister.

Shineon thank goodness i am sure i haven't become hysterical

Of course 999 is appropriate in such a situation, in my opinion if you call a police station directly they tell you to call 999 anyway as they can assess urgency of the situation and prioritise. It's not all sirens and blue flashing lights you know...

Sorry in my experience not opinion.
