I think it's funny that the OP said this:

I only know this because he announced it when they showed up. No call from the parent's, they crossed a 50mph road alone to get there and he's in diapers. I've never had contact with this child and have no idea how to handle him IF something came up. I had to follow after him and keep him directed at safe play the whole time he was there. Thankfully he didn't seem to mind. I let him stay about 45min before I made up my mind and marched him home by the hand. I told his father he was too young to come over and play at our house.
The father had NO idea he was at my house and he wasn't even looking for him, said thank you and please send home the older one. Totally blows me away. I don't understand parents today.
...and now acts like it's no big deal.
