Feckin eejit!

White_Feather

does anyone else think this is madness??

I live in drumcondra on a busy road and yesterday I pulled up in the car outside my house. A few spaces away a woman pulled up and parked her car and in the back seat she had two children in car seats. Id say both were between the ages of one or two. So she gets out, leans into the back of the car, talks to the kids for a minute then puts the alarm on the car and walks off leaving the kids in the back! :eek: I sat there, mainly thinking what a gob sh!te she was for doing this, and twenty minutes later ( no joke ) she strolls back to the car with her dry cleaning and her meat from the butchers! Now before anyone calls me the eejit for sitting there watching, I was worried incase anything happened to the kids!!!

Shoulda kidnapped the kids.Thatll teach her

Some people shouldn't be allowed have kids!

SV

That is ridiculous.

Should have at least left the kids the keys of the car.

MizzLolly

Yup she is an eejit. I freak out when I see people leave their dogs locked in the back of a car, never mind their children! :eek:

If they were that young she shouldn't have left them alone. What if one of them starting choking or something?

This woman certainly deserves to die for her sins against mankind.

Well maybe if you got a house instead of living on a busy road things like this wouldn't happen to you.

No harm but if you were so concerned why didnt you do anything? I agree with you in that she was reckless leaving the children there. However posting on this site wont prevent her doing it again.

Are you sure it was a full 20 minutes or did it feel like 20 minutes? ( waiting for the inevitable posts on babies being left in cars outside petrol stations)

At least then Ireland may have made international news for having a two year old driving a car......yeah beat that yanks with your six year old!

You should have taken her rego and reported her to the authorities. Over here stupid people do the very same thing on hot summer days. The temperature in a car can get 30 or 40 degrees higher than the outside temp. Every year young kids are found dead in cars because of irresponsible sh!ts like this. I know the temperature is not a factor but that is besides the point. She basically abandoned her children and anything could've happened to them without adult supervision :mad:

Sharpshooter

Everybody , relax.
Snyper has other things on his mind.
The kids were safe.


Pity , OP , you didn't think to video it with your phone , and then call the necessary number.

Honestly, 20 minutes! from 1pm until 1.20pm! TBH, she was the kind of woman that I would not like to get on the wrong side of, so thats why I didnt say anything. The way things are today in Ireland, you just dunno who you are talking too!! If I had of went up to her, giving out, she probably would have told me ''politely'' to f off and more than likely deck me one.... Technicaly (sp?) I did do something. I sat there and watched that they were ok from what I could see!

You should have held those beautiful children close to your teets whiles delivering a series of roundhouse kicks to the mothers gooter.

So if I hadnt of waited in my car watching them and the car went on fire or something! (dramatic but can happen!) who would have known two kids were inside apart from their dim mother and myself....

What did the woman do wrong exactly? Did she have her foglights on or something?

All wearing same type hat. Coincidence? I think not.

Delirium

Actually had a similiar experience in a busy shopping centre. Mother and child arrive at a table. Mother tells child to keep the table as she gets the food. Food was on the other side of a massive food court, during a really busy time of the day.

Ended up sitting there waiting till the mother returned. Mother returned about 10-15 mins later. :eek: I was freaked the child was left alone for that length of time, so can't understand how the mother could do that.

When my brother and I were about 4 my dad locked my brother and I in the car and was suppose to just go to the chipper but ended up going for a pint...anyways 9 hours later my mother came and got us when she found my dad passed out on the couch. Now thats parenting!!

I went go-karting up around Ashbourne a few years back with a few lads and on the way back we decided we'd go out in Navan for the night. I was going straight from work so brought a change of clothes in case i need them.

As it turned out I wasn't allowed in the pub with trainers and went back to get changed. I got into the back seat of the car and closed the doors but for some reason the internal ligth wouldn't go off. So i set the alarm, which knocked off the lights, and proceded to get stripped in the security that no one could see into the car. Just As i was near stripped in just me boxers the alarm went off and I couldn't find the keys. There I was on the main street in Navan, near naked in my car with the alarm screaming to attract loads of attention to myself. I was like that for about 3 minutes (felt lke an houe) before I found the keys.

I was getting weird looks from people all night and I was paranoid about who did and didn't see me.

I didn't read the headline but just looked at the picture and thought for a second that it was an article on several Jesus impersonators walking on water

Insect Overlord

Daily Mail?

FAILpaper tbh

Unfortunately this happens too often. Last year my Mam went into the shops only to come out to a group of people standing around her car. When she got to it she found another car had rolled back into hers. How? Because some silly bint had left a 3 yr old in the car and he lifted the hand-break.

Next time you see something like this happen. Ring 11811, get the number for the local Garda station and report the cow/bull.

Yea 20 minutes is way too long, and for some reason I think locking the car makes the situation worse.

I can understand your reluctance to approach her- there are a lot of rough birds out there. Why didnt you phone the guards? This time the children were being supervised by you but the next time who knows what could happen?

OP obviously didn't know at the time that she was going to be 20 minutes.

Tbh I'm not overly shocked by this.....maybe the mother could see the kids from the window of the butchers

Ig god forbid a truck had crashed into her car she would no doubt have being full of remorse and possibly facing a serious charge of neglect .

Same kind of thing happened just before christmas outside a shopping centre in clondalkin, a mother left her toddler in the car while she went shopping, it was about -2 degrees out. A few people noticed and contacted security and the guards. Stations right beside the centre so they were straight over and located the mother inside.

When she came out she was so busy apologising to the guards that she had to be told to open the car and check on the toddler. This was all in the local newspaper and when they contacted the station about it they said it hadn't been brought to the attention of the guard in charge that night, so basically she got off scott free no formal warning or anything:eek:

And what more could he do? Talk to the idiot? He'd probably just be told to fúck off and not tell her how to look after her kids.

Thanks Phuqer! Im a girl tho! :P

Over-react much?

Better 20 minutes in a secured vehicle, sitting, that trying to get toddlers to waddle across a busy road or have them running off when they were in the butchers or something.

God knows I was a little bastard when I learned to walk - get me into a shopping mall and bam, I'm just gone. Hide and Seek was the sh!t.

At that age, locking and alarming the car isnt enough.

All they need is 10 seconds to choke on something. At those ages, teething is still an issue, and they would chew anything.

She shoulda used the chloroform. That would give her plennnty of time. ;-)

yea if it was that long i would have called the police

I dont know if this been mentioned, but below is s story of a 3 month old that died of sunstoke after being left in a car, unlikely to happen in January though.
