They've seen some of their friends, who had awful parents, turn around and make awful parents themselves. A tragedy is right around the corner when a young child is left wandering by itself. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-15190761290754539112016-01-20T11:16:25.080-06:002016-01-20T11:16:25.080-06:00UPDATE: Yesterday I talked to the case worker fro...UPDATE: Yesterday I talked to the case worker from Human Services who assured me that he went to the home and investigated. It seems the front door of the home was faulty and would not close properly. He oversaw the repair to the door and was assured this would never happen again. He believed that his visit put the fear of god in the mother. That was all he could tell me except to thank me for calling and assuring me they would keep a close watch on the home. I also have his direct line if I see the child out again unattended.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-26382417038472587982016-01-20T11:12:05.248-06:002016-01-20T11:12:05.248-06:00Spark, many of my friends are raising their grandc...Spark, many of my friends are raising their grandchildren because the children got involved with drugs.

Thank goodness for you and than man came across the poor little soul.<br /><br />Some people should not have children. There are so many who desperately want to have a child of their own to care for and love unconditionally...and then there are those who just don't give a damn! And the innocent children are the ones who suffer...and they are scared for the rest of their lives.<br /><br />I do so hope this little fellow will be taken care of and loved the way he should be loved and cared for.<br /><br />Thank you, on his behalf, for your concern and your actions.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-62837995747789255512016-01-14T14:01:19.248-06:002016-01-14T14:01:19.248-06:00Wow!

I cannot imagine what could have happened to the kid. How can people be so negligent. How can their mind be not with the kid at all times.<br /> <br />People told me that I was over protective when my kids were younger. Now I realize that there is no such thing as being over protective. I wish that I could do some thing to make sure that no kid wanders around by himself all exposed to elements of nature and bad people as well.<br /><br />I think you have done a thing that brings blessings to mankind.
