    I leave my 11 year old son home alone to run for a little bit, if my15 year old daughter isn't able to watch him, but THAT is just ridiculous!

    No baby should be left alone. Ever. Period.

    That is so irresponsible. I don't care what reasons/excuses they have.

    OMG, NEVER! Take the baby out for long, fast walks. Ok. But leaving the kid alone????? Anything could happen. That's a NO GO.

    If they can't take the baby with them then they shouldn't ever leave the house without them. It's called "jogging in place". I don't even like leaving my dogs in the house when I go up the road, must less a baby!!

    There should be laws against who is allowed to breed.

    That's completely disgusting...and she'd be the first one to act the victim if a person or animal broke in and harmed the baby, or if there was a fire or accident...why would you even want to leave your newborn alone?!

    EXACTLY....Protective Services should be notified. It only takes 30 seconds for a fire to start. Geeeeeeeezus! :mad: :grumble: :angry:

    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.

    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.
