[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving a child's bike outside a children's activity class is an "attractive nuisance."  Find a better arrangement.  Since you dropped off your child, leave the bike in your car, or tell her she can't bike to class.

It's just a silly and irresponsible thing to do.  A two year old cannot appreciate the risk or consequences of playing on a bike.  And she doesn't have the impulse control to make those decisions rationally.

It would be great if her mom stopped her, but your decision making is poor here.  Why would you do this?[/quote]

This is what is wrong with society. No one should bike because you have a two year old??
This comment is stunningly off base. [/quote]

So true. Perhaps if the other parent wasn't raising an entitled brat, this wouldn't be an issue. I saw a similar situation at a kid's practice. Someone left a scooter. A kid, around 4 decided he wanted to ride it. The mom quickly intervened and distracted the kid. Not one parent blamed the parent of the owner of that scooter for leaving it there.

They thought it though. It’s great the child’s parent intervened, they’re supposed to. But we also need to take responsibility for our things. Bike mom wants to ride along to activity but expects others to monitor her unattended property. It’s not locked up and could easily walk off; anyone, adults included has to navigate around it. Both parents are at fault. Bike mom just posted for her own entitled behavior validation. Yeah, keep your kid off if other people’s stuff, but don’t act victimized if you leave and someone touches it.
