[quote=Anonymous]Hmm.

This is a tough one because this is right on the bubble. If I saw a nanny hit a kid, for example, I would do whatever I had to to figure out who the parents were and tell them. Follow them to get the address then mail a letter (not anonymous), post on neighborhood listservs with descriptions, ask around, etc, etc.

But I'm not sure if what you're describing crosses that line. Yelling, we all have bad days, that certainly wouldn't cross that line for me. The phone and the alley independently, I probably wouldn't say anything - lots of parents and nannies aren't that attentive and spend lots of time on the phone. And my kid crosses alleys independently at age 2, but he knows to look both ways first. BUT the combo is what might push me over - I would never have my two year old walking independently without my full and 100% attention.

Probably in this on the bubble case, I would start by just keeping an eye out. They probably walk the same path most days, or at least that day of the week. You can see if there's a pattern - is what you witnessed a bad day or a good day? That would affect the action I would take in this case, I think.

Ethically, I think you can make the case for posting or not posting, so I don't think you need to feel guilty either way. [/quote]
