[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny, have been for 8 years and have seen a few red flags. I have two situations I have questions on.

Situation #1: A respectable family, both parents PhD from Ivy League and divorced. I mostly deal with the mother and we just do occasional care at this point. The father does not buckle his 5 y/o in, and has let him sit in the front seat for quite some time. I randomly saw him the other day and the kid wasn't even in the seat, just kind of bopping around the car.  The mother doesn't make him put his shoulder belt on, so she is not doing the right thing either. When he is in my car, he is buckled properly without complaint. Should I contact proper authorities?  I really feel like I should. I wonder is I am legally obligated.

Situation #2: My main family has a 7 and 2 y/o. The 7 year old told me that his mother leaves the 2 y/o home alone during nap time while she picks up the older child from school a couple blocks away. I am not sure if this is true or not. I thought she occasionally got the neighbor to watch the younger child if she was still sleeping, but this makes me wonder.  Do I ask her about this?

I have spoken to my DH about this and he says I should MYOB. Should I or not?[/quote]

Oops!  I meant to post this in the general discussion and don't know how to move it. Sorry!  Hope I still get some responses! [/quote]
