I don’t understand why the mother had to call her ex husband when she and her husband were there. Were they helpless? 🤔

[@FranciscoMartinez-dg2ku]

It's the other way around she called the father. But still you have a point even The Stepfather should have stepped in. Questions

[@nikkigood78]

Stepfather is a punk they both ran with the other child he should have went after the dude. Mom need to rethink her husband he is not a protector

[@maxderp3034]

DoxyLady why tf would they run, their child is getting dragged and all their thinking about is themself? What kind of selfish oak would do that? I now get why the dad divorced the mom

[@neelonghunglow]

nikkigood78 ? This way she gets child support, and can call for a real man to save the day, when her fun boy can't.

[@corax2012]

I have worked with kids for 30 years ... usually those in not the best of circumstances. A message to everyone ... just be vigilant. Whether you have kids or not, be aware of your surroundings. Notice where everyone is, notice anyone acting strangely, notice if a kid looks out of place, scared, etc. You don't have to be overly paranoid ... just aware ... you could save a life.

[@tastelikechinahadababyandn9928]

I have a question. Why do some kids run naked in front of strangers and laughing? I usually get male guys coming to fix things and I always find my son exposing himself laughing. I think it's not funny. He was a toddler at the time

My rule whenever I took my daughter to the park was no cell phone and no conversations with other parents, basically NO to anything that could distract me. I literally sat there and kept an eye on her for every single second while she played with other children. Yeah, I never relaxed but I knew what was at stake and I could see the potential for a lifetime of agony over being selfish for the little time I was supposed to be protecting her in public spaces.

[@northernnightmare7986]

I'm the same, especially at the pool or beach. I've seen to many stories of kids drowning while surrounded by tons of adults.

[@james2091991]

I'm the exact same. It annoys me how many parents just sit and chat over coffee, while there most precious thing in their lives, their child is wandering freely with who. Knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ I always keep an eye on my sons. I'm ready to go all the way if it ever came to to protect them. Fear and doubt wouldn't even cross my mind. I'd make the decision in a heart beat.

You ever watch unsolved mysteries? Look up what happened to the host son. This happened in the 80's. Stuff like this probably happened more often back then because it was easier to get away with and most likely people didn't hear about it. They didn't have Amber alerts back then.
