    It's a good thing she wrote in anonymously. I'm sure there are several people that would hunt her down.

    I AM a mom - I have 4 kids and the ONLY time any of them have ever been left alone is if I had to walk to the mailbox in my front yard with my baby monitor attached to my hip.

    I was always under the impression that you are not supposed to leave children under the age of 10 YEARS old home alone.

    I am unsure of the actual legal requirements though.

    Completely not logical!!! Your desire to workout should never endanger your child. There are so many alternatives to leaving your child unattended.

    There are some people who just shouldn't be parents.

    I prefer to drop the kids off at the pool before a jog.

    I'd just duct tape to turd to my back and count the extra weight as an exercise aid.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
