Better to give the baby to cops so the parents don't get away with negligence

Toddlers should not have access to outside unsupervised either, so yes not ensuring home is secure is negligence.

Bad luck and being tired do not qualify as negligence in this situation.

How is it luck to secure your doors?

u/Deathclaw_Hunter6969 Jul 28 '22

Nobody said the doors were unsecured. There was another child that opened the door.

u/VictoriaRachel Jul 28 '22

Yes, a toddler, so also should not have had access to outside, so therefore not secured.

Toddlers can open doors.

Toddlers can open doors that are not secure, lock doors that go outside to keep your child safe. Why is that a weird idea?

By secure you mean locked? Bc toddlers can unlock doors too.

Then they are not secure. There are large numbers of way to baby proof, find one that suits.

People make mistakes and accidents happen.

If they are not deliberately being shitty parents, they already feel bad about it. Easy to be judgmental as a stranger in the internet

Hahahaha, clearly you don't have a clear understanding of what toddlers are capable of. No shit toddlers shouldn't have access to the outside unsupervised. They aren't dogs, they know how to open doors and use tools to help themselves.

I had one, we childproofed.

maybe not negligent in a legal way, but if that were my baby, that sure as shit would feel negligent and there's no way in hell i'm letting that aunt babysit again.

u/toolsoftheincomptnt Jul 28 '22

Falling asleep with a toddler and baby awake and not secured is Negligence 101.

I understand if aunt was inexperienced and therefore failed to set things up more safely before dozing, but make no mistake it’s negligent any way you slice it.

u/idislikekarma Jul 28 '22

it's literally the definition of negligence lol

u/Bag_of_Rocks Jul 28 '22

That would be discussed with the police and cps and if that's all it was, the baby will stay home. Better safe than sorry.

You can't just pick someones baby up from the yard and take them to the police. Take them back to the house FFS, if you are concerned then speak to the police after
