OP, just out of curiosity, how long was the woman in the store?

Thank you for being an advocate for these poor children who are at this time, voiceless.
Thankfully it was YOU, not some sick pedophile that got to them first.

[quote=Anonymous]I am a member of the Mt. Pleasant, DC community.
Today (Thursday 10/16/14), at around 12:15pm, I observed a child caretaker leaving two children unattended outside of the Mt. Pleasant St. 7-11 while she went inside of the market next door. I felt concerned; so I stayed near the children until the woman emerged from the store. The woman, who spoke Spanish, said the children were her grandchildren.
Here are descriptions of the children and caretaker:
Caretaker:
- Hispanic; short bowl-style haircut, brown/gray hair; white sneakers; glasses; approximately middle-aged.
Children:
- One toddler (2-3?) and one infant; infant with white onesie; toddler with hot-pink and purple Adidas sneakers; red double stroller.
If these are your children, and the woman IS their grandmother, please accept my apologies. I was simply alarmed at the children being left alone on the street.
Please note that I will not check back to this message board - IF these children ARE yours, and you want more details, please call me at 202-425-4752. My initials are HM.[/quote]
well, even the woman is the grandmother, you have nothing to apologize. If my mother left my infant and toddler alone on the sidewalk while she was shopping at a store, I would be furious and would question her judgment. she would not be watching my kids alone anymore. being a relative is not an excuse for reckelss behavior that can endanger a child. thank you for caring, for stepping up for those kids and and for reporting
