You never know who you could be dealing with these days.
And I seriously doubt the police would have shown up even if the OP had contacted them.
They likely have higher priorities to deal with.
Unfortunately we cannot save the world even though we want to!

Then maybe someone else saw her outside today or will read this forum & let the parents know.)
Yes, it would be good if the parents found out.
Then call CPS and they will find out.
This isn't a CPS or police incident. It's neglect by an incompetent sitter.
Or incompetent parent.
Either way, when did neglect stop being a CPS issue?
It's a matter of magnitude.
Well the pearl clutchers here are claiming this is a huge magnitude. CPS has definitely been called for less (fully clothed children walking in their neighborhood and children in their backyard).

Bare legs, no pants, socks or shoes. Not even a blanket. It was exactly 50 degrees.
This was on Mount Vernon Ave, in the middle of Del Ray in Alexandria, VA. I wish I had stopped my car to tell her the baby needs some clothes on. Can you imagine how cold that baby was in 50 degrees??? If there had been some sort of emergency accident, I would not be enjoying a leisurely stroll.
1. Mind your own business.
2. You have no idea if she is the caregiver or parent.
3. If you really felt she was endangering children you should’ve called the cops.
1. Neglected children that I see ARE my business.
2. If she was the parent, that would be even worse.
3. I definitely should have stopped and found something to cover the cold infant. Next time I will.
Unless you are actively working with CPS, fostered children, children in bad situations, abused children, etc then you are not sincere. You are a busybody and need to mind your own business. So again, if you were really concerned you should’ve called the cops. Posting here really shows your motives.
You may go away. Thank you.
As may you as well.
And while you go away, remember to call the cops if you’re oh so worried.

Thank you. Sometimes I wish a had a stash of warm hats for the children who don't have one. But like you said, the adult always seems to have a hat!
