So at the park yesterday and it was heaving as you might imagine! We were in the baby section but the bigger childrens park surrounds it.
A man came into the baby section with his (8ish) ds and goes over to a lady who is supervising her dd, I heard him tell her the ds had just been sick on the round about, everyone looks! and there is a large amount of orange lumpy vom all over it.
The ds sat down with his mum on the bench and had a drink and there they stayed for about 20 mins, dad went off I thought to sort out the round about but when I looked he was kicking a football around in the larger grassed area!
I took it upon myself to stand nearish the roundabout and warn any kiddies that went to play on it.
After a while I realised that they wernt going to do anything about it so I went to the ice cream van parked next to the park and he gave me some water, my FIL popped home (thankfully he lives next to the park!) and got some gloves, disinfectant etc and so we cleaned the roundabout.
I Just could believe that this family thought to do nothing about it! not even a token effort, in fact as yet another person warned another child not to go on it the dad chuckled to himself! They didnt leave for a good half hour after the poor lad was ill as their dd was obviously having a great time but there are so many shops, restaurants and what not about that they could have tried to sort something out but they just sat there, not ever warning the other kids and parents about it and then tootled off thinking it was vaguely amusing.
I was gobsmacked really.
