I just got back from shopping at an outdoor mall. I was pushing my dd and down the sidewalk I saw this kid sitting in his stroller with shopping bags around him. It took me a good minute to get up to the kid and still no sign of an adult. I slow down when I get up to him and call out and say "who is with this boy??" I wait. Nothing. I call out again. Nothing. I am searching around and I see no one. Another good minute goes by. Finally this woman comes from behind a car. I ask if it is her son and she give me a dirty look and says yes. I tell her that I was concerned since I did not see him with an adult so I waited with him and that I was about to call a cop. She got nasty and started to gather her bags and so.
I told her she got very lucky that no one took her child and she should be more careful. I was so miffed! What could be more important than keeping track of your child? I dont care what else is going on!!!!
OI vey people suck.
Re: what is wrong with people???
I am glad that you said something to her. I hate being put on the spot but I probably would have said something to her also.
I agree, wtf is more important than tending to the child?
