The fact of the matter is without knowing the specifics of the situation that's being discussed one can not say if it was a bad judgement call on the part of the father or just a kid being a kid and doing what they wanted opposed to what they were told they were allowed to.

Oh stop. :rolleyes:

The 3 year old was gone for 45 minutes and the Dad had no idea where he was. If I were his wife, I would slap the #### out of him, then take every single penny he had in the divorce settlement.

You stop. :drama:

Apparently you didn't read the entire thread. When she returned the child the father said that the children were supposed to be elsewhere. Why the hell would he be looking for them if they were supposed to be somewhere that they had permission to be?

Apparently he had given them permission to go one place and they went another. However he did not walk them nor did he call to see they got there.

No, YOU stop :razz:

A 3 year old shouldn't be out wandering around without adult supervision. The very least the Dad could have done is called to see if they made it to their destination okay, and were where they were supposed to be.

Are you trying to tell me that your two come in and say, "Mom, we're going over to So-and-So's house" and you just go, "Okay, see ya later"?

Because I don't believe that.

No but my mom does and apparently so do her neighbors kids. I said off the get that there were not enough specifics to crucify the man. I could stand on my parents back porch and spit on thier neighbors house. My kids go to my parents every Friday evening and it is no big thing for me to show up Saturday and my kids be next door or the neighbor kids be at my parents. It's a common and comfortable situation. We don't know ANY of the logistics of what this man told his kids they could do.

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

(7yr) came over yesterday with his 3yr old autistic(sp?) brother.
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.

Some people believe in dealing with their children in private opposed to in front of the neighbor. And besides, why would he do anything until the other child was home?

Well I've heard all about what a fine job you did so you're opinion doesn't really mean much to me.

Maybe you should quit listening to tard gossip. mAlice's daughter is a fine young woman, and her parents have obviously done a great job with her.

Why would poster get so upset about it if she didn't think it was a big deal?

And she apparently was right. What's your point?

I don't let them do it, my mother does. I just don't freak out about it. There's a difference there.

Point being, we all make parenting decisions that others don't agree with. Doesn't make any of us more right or more wrong in anyone's eyes but our own.

And being melodramatic and jumping the gun was a lesson I thought all of us paid attention to due to the experience/expense of another friend. I guess some people are either hypocrites or a little slow on the uptake.
