    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.:confused:

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    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

    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.

    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!
    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:

    He did more than a lot of people would have done in fairness,especially the mother. At least he stayed there watching the kids for 20 minutes which is more than the mother of the kids did!

    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

    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!!!

    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. ;-)

    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.

    In her defence theres no way she could've taken those kids into a dry cleaners.
    Its unbelievably noisy, they would've cried for 1 maybe even 2 minutes.

    And the butchers! Good god, its so smelly in there!
    You don't need to see cow tongue at that age.

    Pity , OP , you didn't think to video it with your phone , and then call the necessary number.
    And run the risk of being labelled a paederass.

    How so?
    Surely it is not against the law to record something as evidence , especially as you would be the one reporting the incident.
