If you are a mother of a two year old baby girl, would you be able to sleep tightly without your baby on your side? I mean you don't know where your baby is, for you left her downstairs and you feel drowsy already because you drunk too much alcohol? I know somebody who just did this... worst her baby is a girl and she just left her and ask her younger sister who is also a kid to bring the baby up... and left the baby too for the kid is also sleepy already... (I am not blaming the kid, though) I bring the baby home and decided to hide her and wait until the mother look for her but unfortunately it was already past 12 noon but she is still sleeping like an oil... I ask the kid (mother's sister) to wake the mother up and ask where her baby is... then she just reply go and find her... she might go out or something... Okay what a nice reaction from a mother... If she did that in other place, there are some bad maniac man who are capable of raping babies... I totally hated her act of irresponsibility...

I would call child services, Or what ever Government section does that where you are. It is true that this behavior is unsafe for the baby and the other child (where is that mother?). It is sad that people do this but it is how babies are taken and horrible things done to them. Or they get hurt doing something themselves like wondering in traffic.

Hi opinionatedLady! Right now the father is looking after the baby... I still want to give them chance before calling any child services... The mother used to be a good and sweet mom... She was just influenced by some wrong people whom she considered friends...

I see all the post that they hate the mother or so, but there could be reasons why she's doing that, maybe she doesn't really want children, maybe she just got impregnated or so? or maybe she's not her daughter. or maybe really bad happened? I can't really provide a good reason cause i don't know the details, those are just speculations. My advice, if you knew the mother doesn't care for her children, why don't you act or try to be mother to them (this is up to you if you care for them).

Okay she got pregnant at early age, she is now 19 years old. She used to be a caring sweet mom but lately, we notice changes on her... She have wrong circle of friends who turned her to be a happy go lucky mom... She is leaving with the father but most of the time she went home late I mean really late... sometime morning already! and even the father can't control her anymore.... It is good that somehow the father is there to look after the baby... I wish and pray she realize the wrong things she is doing now before it is too late... You know what... whatever the reason behind it... it doesn't change anything she is still wrong and irresponsible... Why make her daughter suffer the consiquences of her past mistakes... She had the baby early because of her doing... and she cannot correct it by covering it up with another hole... She is only making the situation worst... She needs to stand uo and be a mother... She needs to face that fact.

You are right maybe something bad did happen to her, and she doesnt want children. But in this case she should step up and be a women, admit she doesnt want them and give them up for adoption or something. She is just being careless with a life. A child's life at that, and that is not right under any cercumstance. :/

hi lovelyn__medrano that would be horrible not taking care of my baby or not knowing where it was every minute. I was there for both mychildren all the time and they were well taken care of, and I did not go back to work until they were both in school.

Wow, I'm a mother of two wonderful children and I know where they are at all times, and this does also include my seven-year-old as well as my three-year-old. I have a hard time leaving them with a baby sitter at all, and I even have some separation anxiety while my daughter is at school. Yes, I've had a few drinks since I've been a mother, but I have never asked someone else to watch my children because I am drunk. To me, the situation that you've just described is one of immaturity and someone like that needs to have some parenting questions or something. WOW!!

Same here dorannmwin. I am having a hard time leaving my baby to a baby seater... that was my big problem when I needed to go back to my office after giving birth and consuming all my leaves... I am really not comfortable that is why I asked my cousin to baby sit my son while i am in the office... And even if she is my cousin I always call and check on him...

That really annoys me. It is amost impossible for me to imaging that some mothers care be as careless and unloving towards their own baby. I have seen and heard some aweful story and this is one of the worst. Anything could have happened to those two children. As a father, i was always paranoid about my children even when they were with me relatives.

Clarkbody she is really carless and irresponsible... I understand that she is still young but that is not a good excuse though... She is over 18 and even a younger age would agree that she is such an irresponsible, happy go lucky mother...

This is sooo sad. I can't believe someone would do that. I have a 2 year old little girl and a 1 month old son. I feel bad when i leave them with my 30 year old brother to go out drinking. I feel like by leaving them with someone else that they will feel like I am abandoning them. I hope that mother learns her lesson before it is to late. A lot of bad things can happen to a child left alone like that.

i think it's not merely an individual phenomenon, a societal too..the kid and oldie population need so much care and societal attention in order to witness a healthy and prosper social life...human beings need to learn many things from the animal and other non-human societal cosmos..as per the drinks is concerned in this capitalist and consumeristic world we have to maintain the goodness of human mankind ...otherwise what we do to our children during our adult age we would not expect much better from them in our oldie days...so it is the question of social responsibility in order to meet the reciprocal relationship in our society,,,

People who neglect their children do not deserve to have them, and those children should be removed from their homes. There are plenty of people in the world who cannot have children but would like to and that would do a better job of raising them then these irresponsible, ignorant, stupid parents who dont think of their children's safety, happiness, or well being!! This really angers me because I am a young mother myself and just because someone may be young does not give them a reaon to party and be drinking with their children around. If they were not ready to grow up and raise a family, they should not have started one!

Hi jesf1988! The mother is also young but as you said that is not an excuse... She is 19 years old now and age is just a number... Maturity is all in the heart... Being responsible and irresponsible is a personal choice... and nothing to do with the "age"...
