Leaving a 4 month old alone to go jog?

CJK1959

Plain wrong.....you know it's ridiculous that in order to drive, you have to take classes, practice and then pass a tes. But, anyone can have children....some should not be allowed to reproduce!

edorice

Wow, this is bad form. I agree with the article. Not only could something happen to the child, but something could happen to the mother while she is away from the child.

:noway:

Yikes, not a parent either, but still couldn't even fathom a situation important enough to warrant leaving a child alone like that.

Well, it isn't like a 4 month old can into any mischief. They can't walk, can't talk and won't remember it happening so will never, ever tell.

sassylilmama

Also the fact that she does not tell anyone proves she KNOWS it is WRONG.

Wow, just wrong... That upsets me greatly. I'm a man and it upsets me. This chick doesn't deserve to have a child.

Bankman1989

Don't even have to look to say i hope they took the child away.

BattyMama

OMG!!!!! Get a damn treadmill!!!!!

[This is that I was going to say. i have a 5 and 4 year old and I would never, ever, ever leave to to exercise.

It also can't leave if a fire or something happens, if someone breaks in it can't run or defend itself. If the mom drops dead from a heart attack or get hits by a car it can't call someone or get itself food.

She doesn't "tell anyone" because she knows she's a negligent *kitten*. Unf'ingbelievable how someone would even consider it much less do it.

It's inspiring that this woman is willing to make such sacrifices for fitness.

Pretty sure that was this new thing called sarcasm.

Commendable I'd say! :drinker:

I don't even let my almost 4 year old play in the yard without getting nervous!

Ashley_Panda

I was nervous to leave my kid alone long enough to go take a crap. Good grief.

foraMEthatiLOVE

She needs some mental work, not body work!

countrydarling1

I would never ever!! Thats why they invented strollers, you can walk, run & jogg behind them how ever fast or slow the pace!

MissO﹠A

Damn that pesky bear...

Lesliecs

You have GOT to be kidding me!!!! This "mother" should not be allowed to have children..... period. Good thing it was anonymous or I'd be calling some authority to have her arrested for child endangerment or something. Unbelievable!!!

mrschappet

That is just down right irresponsible and selfish parenting and don't forget NEGLET and CHILD ENDANGERMENT... she obviously know this is wrong otherwise she wouldn't keep it secret and hide her identity.. I hope she gets caught and gets turned in to child protective services!!!

3shirts

Yeah, why not. If the kid sleeps through it, go for it.

mommared53

That is so dangerous, there are just way too many things that could go wrong! And to not let anyone know her baby is in there alone! If she doesn't have a trusted neighbor or someone who could at least sit on her porch or something for a few minutes then she should wait until the baby is awake and invest in a jogging stroller or something. That's just scary!

yevasdottir

It doesn't have to be an anonymous parent. There's a father in our sports' club who is a one-day-a-week househusband (his wife works four days a week outside the home) and we KNOW that, when said father gets cabin-fever - that one day a week stress! - he leaves the three-year-old asleep and goes out for a training run.

Should we do ANYTHING about this?

EXACTLY!!!

ladybg81

OMG REALLY?!?!?

See why I say some people should not be able to reproduce.

beccyleigh

the law on this is a bit screwed, there is no law against leaving a child alone but there is a law stating that you cannot leave a child alone if there is at risk of harm either from themselves or outside influence.

that said, a 4 month old baby is a risk from even being asleep, cot death or choking are only 2 very possible scenarios.

AlsDonkBoxSquat

Shameful, how does a person do that?!? I've heard way too many stories where I live about parents just "going out for a little" and all their 6 children ages 3 weeks - 9 years die in a house fire. How do you stand taking that kind of chance?
