Would you leave your 5 years old all alone for all morning under the pretex you have to go food shopping...

[Ploufplouf]

and taking him would make things difficult ? My Sil did it, he didnt want to come, so he became stroppy resulting in My Sil leaving my nephew behind..for 3 hours playing with the wii..Just a rant, I know nobody in their right mind whowould do that.

5 years old? Thats crazy!

She's ignorant, I cant believe she did that

really! She left a 5 year old with no supervision for 3 hour - i am

that is UTTERLY appalling

sorry, she left a 5 year old alone in the house for 3 hours?

5yr old alone in house with no supervision at all

and she TOLD you???!!!

ignorant - neglectful IMO

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She told me and she was actually laughing about it..seeing nothing wrong

silly cow

sorry to speak so ill of your family but what if the house had gone on fire or he'd hurt himself

Is this for real?

And if it is, do you intend to do anything about it? Because that is neglect.

if anything happened to the child when she was gone, she would be in serious trouble with the law.

sad that a 5 year old could sit and play for 3 hours on a wii and not miss his parents

what if he fell and banged his head? suddenly felt unwell? was hungry ?

farking stupid and irresponsible behaviour

And to makes things worst the "local" supermarket is 16 km away from their house, they live in the countryside

i am with WWB - this is really serious stuff

That is disgusting. Anyting could have happened, thankfully it didn't, but oh my god

thats pretty bad imo

You can speak ill about my sil, I dont mind, in this case, she has been a complete idiote. She's absolutely useless with her children. She has 3, one is 7, middle one is 5 and the baby as she call him is almost 3. They are total bratt and they do almost whatever they want to do.

brats or not, she is risking their lives and her own liberty

am not surprised they play up, if they don;t have to do anything they don;t want to

But leaving her 5 years old son behind because she didnt want to face a tantrum is just unbelievable...sorry for the rant, I dont usually rant about my family but what she has done is beyond everything

if she was my SIL, i would be considering anonymous call to Social services, could not forgive myself if something happend... does her DH know she does this?

i am really, geniuinley shocked!

DS is 8.6 and i would not leave him alone in the house yet.

I didnt dare asking her if she was doing it often..she says she just has to leave him with the wii and he's ok.

Yes we all agree on that ploufplouf, the question is: What are you going to do about it?

I dont know if my brother knows about it, he was not there when she told me..they are in France so I dont know how the law is towards parents leaving their children to look after themselves for a while

You didn't dare ask her..... right.

You do realise this is a serious matter? I have a 6yr old & there's no way I would leave her for 30mins alone, never mind all morning.

It doesn't bear thinking about.

What can I do ? I'm in England and they are in France..I cant do that to my brother, can I ? I dont even know if he knows.
