Mom leaves her baby in the car at daycare pickup wwyd?

Anonymous
Title says it all- there's a mom who has a napping baby in the car while she picks up her kid from daycare. She has to enter the building, go around the corner, sign out the kid, and get back to the car. Car is running. There isn't normally space right out front-but it's not a far walk. I timed it-child is unaccompanied in the car for about two minutes. Say something? Or MYOB.

Tell the daycare.

Perhaps they can talk to her about it.

Do not MYOB because you are in a sense, now a mandated reporter.

If someone carjacked her vehicle thus kidnapping her baby, imagine the guilt that would ensue.

Who has time for that? Don't have more than one kid if you can't handle them.

Since you have the time to time her while she's away from the car, Why don't you ask her if she'd like for you to stay at the car and watch her sleeping baby while she runs in to grab her kid? That would probably be the best way to help out a fellow parent who appears to be juggling conpeting schedules for her kids.

I really don't have the time. The reason I stayed to time her is to make sure she didn't get distracted and went back to the car quickly. I also always scan parked cars for children or pets left alone (an idea I learned here). I'll play my little part in helping ensure a tragedy doesn't happen, but I don't want to spend my free time helping her out. If it's a problem, I'll call her attention to it or flag it for the daycare. If it's not a problem I will MYOB.

For two minutes only? Not a problem, MYOB.

OP, you could learn a lot from this poster and 00:27, who both came at this situation from a compassionate, helpful angle.

Too bad you are too self-absorbed to listen to them.

I'd go over and say I notice her baby is napping would she like me to sign out her kid with mine and bring them both out.

But I also think it's fine to leave a baby napping. Though I would turn off the car.

Are you really suggesting that I coordinate my daily schedule with this women so I can stand by her car for two extra minutes every day?

Yes, a non-air conditioned car in the middle of the day in DC summer is much safe. Moron.

You're missing the point. You immediately think about how you can get this woman in trouble (timing her? Really?). A good person, like the PPs, would ask first how they can help this woman. Shame on you.
