Why did you lock the door? That's mean.

If he's such a great parent, he would be around more and not allow his wife to relegate him to the carriage house. If you call in CPS, they could remove the children from the home immediately. They will also launch an investigation and if there is suspicion of neglect or abuse, both parents will have it on their records and that could preclude their ability to secure employment in the future.

Since this would have been a second-hand account, I do not know who you could tell if anyone.

I wouldn't do or say anything about it now, but I would keep my eyes and ears opened a little extra wide from now on "just in case."

You did not witness this with your own eyes, nor did your friend stick around to see what happened next. You realize you will be fired if you mention this to DB or call CPS, right?

If you have a good relationship with the DB can you call him or text him and tell him about this? It sounds like the MB is an awful parent and maybe DB is staying in the marriage (but living in the carriage house) for the sake of the children. I'd imagine he'd want to know that this happened. If he is the good parent you say he is he should deal with this.

Not a troll post unfortunately. Its too bad every time I post i get called out for troll... Im really hoping for some guidance here.. I feel that I need to do something

Troll.

DB is a great parent!! He is the most involved in the children's life. I barely see him as he works a lot and goes out of town often. 5 year old told me he loves in the carriage house. Not sure if that's true but I wouldn't be surprised

No this was different. They were in the front yard and on a semi busy street.

How's your relationship with DB/what kind of parent is he?

I've made my kids stay outside and locked the door. However they were in a fenced backyard and I could see them the whole time. Yes they have been out there screaming before but kids need to be outside.

You could try and report it, but you don't have actual proof of any neglect. I doubt it will do any good.

Wow. Just wow.

Op here...here's my precious thread
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/nanny-forum/posts/list/292471.page I just got a phone call from one of my nanny friends( also my best friend and roommate who I trust with my life) who walked past my MB's house on the way to the park. She saw MB yelling at my charges and then watched out of the corner of her eye as MB proceeded to shut the outside door and leave them outside. The kids are 5&2 & the 2 year old has a tendency to run into the road. I'm not really sure what to due with this information.... Yes my friend could have misread the situation but MB is very self centred and neglectful and I wouldn't put this past her. I'm not sure how to go about this. I feel like I need to let someone know.
