I feel even worse for the kids whose parents don't seem to have any value for them. Parents truely loving their kids would want to know where they are and if they are fed. I see kids with backpacks bigger than they are walking by themselves to school, or out late at night...these kids are a child preditors dream come true. Making the kids parents accountable is a good idea. Hopefully their response isn't an abusive one towards the kids. I feel your pain.

Dirty, locked out of an empty house and hungry was not an uncommon state in my neighborhood -- though not in my family, happily. Reminds me of a lot of kids I knew in my childhood.

It got to the point where the kids would come to my house for juice, band-aids, snacks, and the bathroom. I share your pain and hope they stop. Unbathed kids... shame.

Since I have three children, both of the two are usually here. It sucks..it really does..but I try to think that if they were not here, who knows what they would be doing or if they would be safe..so I guess we are all doing a good thing!

Thats terrible! I am sure you are a great hostess but really, I cant even think about letting my kids go to their friends next door without calling first to make sure its ok. I also always send over freeze pops or chips with them for snacks and they have a pool so I always go over with them and ask if I should stay and watch the kids swim or is the mom going to be out. Just really terrible parents out there. I cant even believe it!! Thats terrible!

She wouldn't leave when I hinted it was time to go so I not only fed her lunch but she also walked right into my house with no one in there and started playing with Monkey's toys. I told her she had to leave which worked for a whole hour. She came back and asked me if I could put up the bouncer for her. Then came back 2 hours after that and asked <i>again</i>. The whole time she was here I have no idea where her "dad" (she mentioned having one at some point) was at. My neighbor told me about a girl who lives around here that came over to her house and asked to play with her boys. As some point she announced that she had a "disease." She asked what disease and the girl mentioned it was chicken pox, so they had to tell her to leave. I didn't realize bad parenting was so universal until reading your post. I don't know how you are able to tolerate all the loose children that don't want to leave your house. What you said about the 5yo that wanders the neighborhood aimlessly also strikes close to home, that is not uncommon around here. .-= Angel´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AskAngel/~3/2DY8COKT-ho/" rel="nofollow">AngelaShupe.com Is Now Available On The Kindle!</a> =-.

I barely let my 12 year old daughter out of the house without me. Unfortunately this happens way too often - lazy parents counting on responsible parents to do their job. I would be super mad.
