Bad Parents

Magi · #1 (**permalink**) May 08, 06

Many parents leave their kids (under 12 years old) at Toys R Us while they go shopping elsewhere in the mall, thinking their kids are safe and sound inside the store.

Usually we call security and they find the parents and warn them not to do it or they will call child services.

Yesterday, it happened again. What was so bad about this particular case was the child was physically disabled, having to use a walking aid.

We asked him why his parents left him there, and he said it was because he couldn't keep up with them.

What's worse, when security finally got a hold of the parents (just the mom to be exact), she didn't even get him herself. She sent the child's aunt to grab him. So the security gaurd went with them to talk to the mom himself.

I'm a pretty calm person, but this crossed the line. I was ready to flip out at the mom. Luckily for her she didn't come herself.

I hope something happens this time other than a warning.

I should add, the first time she was called by security, she didn't come. They had to call her a second time before anything happened.

what the hellm thats so sad. I mean who would even leave any child in the first place, and expect them to stay there, its a mall a store in the mall not a daycare.

Its obvioulsy a grasp at getting a moment away without paying a babysitter.

GAWD!

TAKE SOME EFFING RESPONSIBILITY!

raising a disabled child would be a daunting task. im not saying what she did is right, cus it sure as shit is not, but maybe she just needed a break.

but when she needed a break that would be when she couldhave called a babysitter!

Those are parents that shouldn't bother bringing a child into the world if they can't handle the responsability!

A little tune-up from the ol' Wooden Spoon never hurt anyone!

Some Parents should dust that bad boy off once in awhile.

First of all I am very discusted with any parent leaving their child (mostly under 10) behind. Last summer I stared at a mother who was trying to send her 4 year old son accross the street to play at the play ground while she was half way in her car. Im pretty sure she was going to leave her son with us (daycare kids and staff) at the playground untill she saw me observing and her son looking terrified at her.

I get paid a fare amount to spend 5.5 hours a day with a girl who is disabled. I get worne out enough and could never imagine the frustration parents go through. Especialy since most parents with kids who have disabilities have no experince or knowlege unlike ppl like me.

However that is no excuse. That is your child and should be loved and cared for as they deserve no matter what the case. I should tell you about the family of the girl I work with. Their an A+++. They have so much love in thier familey I believe it honestly throughs half the hasstle of taking care of their mentaly and physicaly disabled doughter out the window. I believe that we make the challenges in this world and their are no 'disabled' ppl.

I know the young boy I work with who is high functioning autism receives 17 hours a month of respite paid by the goverment. Basikly its a break for hte parents. Im beleive ppl with more needs may recieve more hours and even care givers to take care of some of the chores.

That all said I am still discusted, espeicaly with the coment of the child saying "because I couldnt keep up with them" How dare any parent disrespect and humiliate their child in that way? Those parents are in no way an advocate for their son and a discrace for those who are try and incurage integration and exceptance.
