[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t be worried about the 9 year old but a three year old should definitely not be unattended out in a street with only a 9 year old watching them.  This set up is not great for people with kids that age, really.  I would not send a three year old out with anyone younger than 12 in that set up, maybe 16 depending on traffic patterns.  But I’m not sure how to approach that — the parents just clearly have bad judgment (or they have an incompetent nanny and have no idea their 3 year old is free ranging).  If it only happens weekdays, I might swing by on the weekend with a batch of dollhouse cookies and say something.

I also would not leave a grill unattended in a setup like this.  Even if it’s just a dog that gets loose, it’s a bad idea.  Bring all the food outside to start or call someone inside the house to ask them to bring out the rest of the food.  This is just part of the deal in living in townhome setups — people are much closer together and you need to account for that.  [/quote]
