I'm 100% on this mom's side, when my brother was 12 he babysat me & we're 6 yrs apart. The neighbors sound like cop calling troublemakers. The first choice should be walk the child to the house & knock on the door, if no one answers the door then call the mother. That neighbor must a vendetta against the mother
If the neighbor is that concerned they could offer to babysit
@@emilyfeagin2673 God forbid
@@emilyfeagin2673 she wouldn't be able to feed her need for drama if she did that though 🤣😅
I'd almost bet it was the same neighbor who called TWICE (she needs fact finding hearings). People don't have big families anymore (even more just have pets instead these days). A house of 5 kids is just totally different. My husband & I had 6 kids all together! I had 2, he had 2, We had 2... and ALL ended up being raised together. Sometimes it was a mess, but it was the best mess of an experience I'd ever want out of life. (Alotta fun & laughter too) I didn't realize My life NEEDED all of that, until I had it... but it'll NEVER EVER be perfect all day everyday with that many HUMANS in one space (statistical odds explain that one clearly).
I hope this woman gets the help she needs & society pushes back on this!
This is crazy, I’m my neighborhood we have lots of single mom and we all work together. If I can’t pick up my kid, they help vise versa
How the times have changed...I started baby sitting around 14 years old. Man, I truly feel for this mother.
Me too, I started babysitting around that age. Arrested?! That’s ridiculous…
Same I was 12
Me too!! I can't believe she's being charged!
Did you babysit full time and be responsible for several young children? It’s nuts if mom goes to jail. She needs adult support/help & birth control pills.
I started at 10
Love how she's in trouble for not being with her kids, so the punishment is to take her away from her kids. Yeah, that makes sense....
Obviously the neighbor has a hidden agenda. Knowing she's a single mom why not offer to assist or help her find individuals who could
EXACTLY!!!!
Oh the neighbor would never do that. She's likely one of those hypocritical snobs that has the belief that other people's children aren't her responsibility. If that's the case, then she needs to keep her mouth shut.
Exactly!!!
This bothers me so much because my sister is a single mum of two boys! My nephew is 13 now but he has been babysitting his brother since he was 11! My sister has cameras inside and outside of her home that she can check up on them at any time and there’s A LOT of rules for them, such as no going outside, doors remain locked, no answering the house phone, his mobile must be kept on incase grandmother, aunties or mum calls, no cooking, no answering the door unless it’s aunties, grandma or mum even if you know the person, no climbing, no phone calls to anyone unless it’s an emergency, no internet, no showers or baths (she worries about them falling or drowning lol) and the list goes on and on!!
My nephew is very responsible and he even prepares his brother sandwiches and cleans up after himself. He is a great kid who is 100% trustworthy and not just that but there’s always the cameras around for when they decide to break the rules (like the time they searched and found their Christmas presents early 😂)
@@GLITTER_GUTS That's pretty smart!
@@sweetcake4711 thanks :) my sister is a smart woman 👩
Why did the neighbor call the police instead of just walk the kid home ?? wtf ..these people need to get a life
Karens bruh
They're everywhere
@Shelby Sparkman It's none of her business. Those aren't her children. Maybe she needs to focus on her own instead of playing neighborhood watchdog.
People are absolutely ridiculous now
She does a yearcin jail and all around the world real criminals are freed and felones released from rikers .....unbelievable !!!!
The thugs at Rikers should be there for life. That being said this "mother" shouldn't have her kids.
Why would the neighbors phone the police on this lady it sounds like they just like trouble and are jealous cos the lady had a job to go to I never left my kids by themselves but the neighbors who went to the police did they want custaday of this woman kids has all the neighbors got it in for this woman two different occasions there must be something wrong some where I'm not from America but I do know you get a lot of corruption police over there and it's bad when you get the odd decent police officer who is good at their jobs and do the right thing the only other thing I can think is the lady has racist neighbors I hope who ever reading this have a great weekend where ever you live from Mary from Scotland
It's about control over young hearts and minds. CPS are the pigs. 🐖
@@marygunn7768 Or they're nosy, privileged snobs. Time to move somewhere with less neighbors!
@@sweetcake4711 yes they probably are snobs and like sticking there nose where not wanted and possibly have had the police at their door for not looking after there own kids I hope you have a great day and evening from Mary from the far north of Scotland Thurso Caithness
I remember when this story first broke, I couldn't believe it. Nothing about this story or this family was worthy of an arrest. Theres actual children in harms way out there and it seems police and CYS don't do anything about it but yet a family like this, that had a genuine mistake happen and no harm was done, is being harassed and she's been arrested. Makes NO sense. Its very clear and obvious to anyone with eyes that this mother and sister meant no harm.
Yes! I have my own story with CPS, but as soon as I fought back with several documents proving against their severe allegations all charges were dropped and erased. It scared me that they wanted to take healthy, happy children from a loving, normal family just because of one small accident where no one was hurt and all was fine. Yet children of severely abusive households are placed back with their abusers time and time again. I don't understand. CPS is criminal.
I remember during lockdown I had to go to a store and had no one to watch my children. I took them with, naturally. The woman at the store went berserk because I was "putting my children and the public at risk". Completely upsetting my children. If I leave them at home, that is wrong too. Society is so fd-up. People will throw all kinds of hate towards those who are struggling, such as this single mother. Her neighbour could have handled this so much better. OMG. People are the worst. Not everyone has options and support.
So sorry to hear that! The pandemic has affected everyone so differently and it really did shed light on people's true colours. As a mom, you have to do what you have to do especially if you are on your own.
@@laurenvezeau8101 and yet a lot of people are still f*cked up
So the cops were fine with taking the mom away and leaving the small child in the care of the teenager, but they were not okay with it when the mom decided to leave the small child in the care of the teenager
Mom wasn't falling for that one this time lol
@@dallasoch that's what I was thinking too but saying that what gives the neighbors the right to phone police they could have just walked the kid to the mother if the kids were friends with each other if I was this mother I would be getting locked up for banging on the neighbors door asking why would you go to the police when you could have walked the kid back I hope you have a lovely weekend where ever you live from Mary from Scotland
@@marygunn7768 I'd have been livid & my son wouldn't be visiting his little friend anymore
@@dallasoch thanks for replying back to me I agree with you I would not let the boy visit the friend no more I think her neighbours are jealous of her and want her out of the neighborhood enjoy your weekend from Mary from Thurso Caithness

Where I live, we have a babysitters course that can be taken at age 12! I can't imagine what this poor mother is going through. I was watching children when I was 11/12 years old! I now have a 13yo and an 8yo. It's terrifying to think that I could be arrested if/when I ever decide to leave my eldest with her sibling for a short while. I've never done it YET, but this definitely makes me question if/when I would ever feel comfortable doing so.
I babysit my aunt's friends baby, she is 1 i think.
Same! I started babysitting neighbor's kids when I was 11/12 no problem! This is so sad.
I babysat at 10.
It isn't about her leaving the 14 year old to babysit. It is about this happening more than once with her leaving her 14 year old and the youngest getting out. This case is specific to this family. Not all young teens being left to babysit. So her 14 year old wasn't the best babysitter but she kept leaving her to babysit anyway. If something had happened to her youngest child all these same people here not understanding this would be asking "why wasn't something done before? Why it was allowed to keep happening? "
Same, I took it when I was 13 and my little sister took it last year… this whole situation is sad
Those neighbors should help first instead of calling the cops. Poor family
The police treated this mom unfairly. I started babysitting when I was 12.
@@colonelgeorgiospapadopoulos
More like 50’s and 60’s. I couldn’t wait to earn my own money!
Ya, my sister babysat me and my 2 siblings when she turned 12.
We were never abused. Good heavens!
Everything is abuse now and no one can be trusted anymore.
I hope she sues and wins and puts the money toward their education
It’s absolutely crazy for her neighbor to call the police over this. Your child’s friend comes home WITH your child and you’re horrified?? I can’t tell you how many times as a kid my friends wandered over to my house unsupervised to ask to play. Not to mention this woman is a single mother who has to provide for five children in a pandemic. Instead of realizing the stressful situation mom was in, and maybe just letting the kid hang out in her house for a few hours where you know he’s safe, she called the police. Despicable Karen behavior from that neighbor.
I was definitely babysitting by age 14, WTF
Now doing that is considered abusive by these oversensitive nancies. Then they complain when teens are out becoming pregnant or partying.
This is why we shouldn't call the police just for any reason. Ask questions first and know what is the situation. Call the mom first!! Geez thanks for giving us Karen's a bad name.
Terrible.
I’ve met some beautiful souls with the name Karen personally don’t be stereotyping every Karen y’all !!!
This neighbor should have offered her help with the kids!!
Get a new neighborhood if you can. The neighbors are likely jealous.
The thing that gets me though is how was the teen suppose to do a full day of online learning and watch 4 younger siblings???
She's old enough, she's capable. She can do homework and watch her 4 siblings. 🙄 I swear it's like you snowflakes have never had responsibility before.
Back when I was a kid? My mom kicked me and my brother outside and said don’t come back till the street lights come on😂. Times have really changed🤦🏻♀️. Unless there is no doubt that neglect or abuse is going on? .. people need to stay in their own lane! And clean your own house before you try to clean other’s. Praying for this poor mom🙏🏼😢🦋
Same. Fear culture has changed everything.
Was the same for my younger cousins and myself; only if they did ANYTHING wrong I would get in trouble for it be cause I was the eldest and I was supposed to control them. Yeah, control bunch of hyper 3 year olds that are just running around randomly. It’s impossible.
@@leviblevins513 Not just that, but this Participation Trophy Everyone Is Special Culture. I'd also call it the Teenagers don't need responsibility culture as well.
same here. lol thank God for His covering though because times have also changed in how these pedophiles target our kids.
Times are 100% different even from the 90s when I was 8-9 years old I walked my sister home from school I was in 3 grade she was in kindergarten then we were home alone I made her a snack pit tv on and waited an hour sometimes two for one of my parents to get home
Well more kids are being kidnapped for walking home
@@vantata399 Not if they're taught not to talk to strangers and if someone chases them, run to the nearest house with a large angry dog. It'll scare the would be kidnapper since he doesn't want his arm ripped off. Of course be careful not to get too close to the dog, just close enough it scares him off. This is why I'm in favor of having large rottweilers around children. Not only are they cuddly, but they're better babysitters then most people.
@@sweetcake4711 thank you and I’m being 100% honest I’m on my 3rd Rottweiler they literally are the best dog
@@amoney315 That's really good! And it's no problem. They're very good dogs.
@@sweetcake4711 Not all houses have dogs and usually an adult can outrun a child. Teaching a kid to see these signs doesn't mean the criminal doesn't know how to still get them.
I started babysitting at 12. It helped me gain confidence and grow as a person. It was also my first chance to earn a little money of my own.
This is ridiculous! I feel so bad for her.
I feel for this mother. She left her so though responsible teenage daughter to look after her younger children and is now facing a year behind bars. :(
The daughter was literally doing homework. It was a terrible accident. Thank goodness the child was safe.
Geez her daughter was doing school... have some compassion
The fourteen year old was doing her homework. I had to do mine when my mother was out working and I was left home alone. She did good. She didn't know her brother would escape. Boys are stubborn and hardheaded!
@@sweetcake4711 & he was a toddler
Neighbor sounds like a sociopath. So nuts.
I live in a small town too and 0 support system. Single parenting is so, so hard. I feel for her.
Same. Almost like "damned if we do, damned if we don't". Stay strong, mama.
I have barriers. I don't drive and live in a rural area. Busses don't come out this way. I don't have childcare. Harder to find work.
I babysat kids all summer long at 14 years old for the entire day. I'd take them to parks and the beach. We'd have a blast. I never once lost track of a kid though.
The girl had to do school work though that’s the thing so she was focusing on that. That’s not her fault tbh
@@piinkam0r not blaming either the kid or parent. Kids and teens were just built different when I was growing up. I walked home from school solo at age 8 and looked after myself for an hour till my mom got home from work. I did my own homework unassisted and got myself to my activities by walking or by bike. It was just a different world when I was a kid. We weren't coddled and sheltered. Kids now don't know how to be self sufficient like that, because it isn't expected of them.
Can't believe they arrested her! And who are her neighbors?! Sounds like at least one of them isn't her biggest fan....
I was babysitting a 6 week old infant at 12. I was babysitting kids in the neighborhood. Its how I made money as a teen. Boy.... Times have changed. I feel sorry for this mom. In my state of Wisconsin you have to be 11 to watch your siblings and 12 to babysit other peoples kids. Accidents happen. This is a miscarriage of justice.
This is wrong.
I'm a mother of 2 daughters. I feel bad for her. My mom watches my daughters but not everyone has someone. Everything was closed during 2020. She had to support her family. My mom babysat at age 12 back in the late 60s so this is ridiculous
I got my St. John’s ambulance cpr and first aid training for babysitting when I was 12
And was babysitting kids on my street
whhhhyyyy would you call the cops vs knock on my door knowing it's my child
I'd have been furious at the neighbor & my little boy isn't going over to visit his little friend anymore
@@dallasoch exactly! that's ridiculous
@@dallasoch I would move on top of that! Likely to a rural area with less neighbors and people who know to keep to themselves. Those neighbors are nothing but suburban busybodies!
@@sweetcake4711 exactly why I love rurally lol
@@dallasoch I couldn't blame you. Too many nosy Karen's in the suburbs who think they know how to parent your children. Rural areas are so much quieter and better for children.
This is insane!!!! I used to watch my younger brother after school at the age of 12!! This was 15 years ago. How things have changed so much in less than 2 decades. Crazy!
That mom shouldn't have called the fkn cops
Maybe she should get her house egged by rowdy neighborhood teens.
This is ridiculous
omg!!!! how absolutely ridiculous- while there's people legit neglecting their children & they arrest this woman
I hope she doesnt go to jail, she's obviously responsible and a great mother
Not responsible at all if a toddler gets outside without anyone knowing.
@@justmeandalwaysproud5206 kids wander. It’s in their nature. Also, it’s not like this kid ran off with a stranger. He wandered to a friend’s house. The least the neighbor could’ve done instead of calling the cops is call the mother first. Also, it was mentioned that the 14 year old was doing her homework when he wandered off. At least she went looking for him. If she was irresponsible, she wouldn’t have went looking for him. At least he was found safe 🤷♀️.
Same here. I can’t imagine being a single mother of 5 kids with next to no help. Being that stressed and having no daycare due to Covid. What was she supposed to do? It’s not like she couldn’t not go back to work. Someone has to support those kids.
@@justmeandalwaysproud5206 She let her fourteen year old daughter to babysit. The boy was hardheaded enough that he sneaked out while his sister was doing HOMEWORK! Would you rather this woman be teaching her children how to be transgender instead?!
@@justmeandalwaysproud5206 Toddlers run off all the time! You elitist snobs sicken me.
And to think of all the cases where parents should be arrested for criminal negligence/abuse and weren’t…
YES!
Right
So if a 14 year old has a baby, she should be immediately arrested because they are both underage.
Yup. But that won't happen because to these people, that's what fourteen year olds need to be out doing instead of taking care of household responsibilities while parents are at work!
My half brother started babysitting his other siblings when he was 13 because he and them lived with their mother, who was never home due to making poor lifestyle choices. This poor woman is just trying to go to work so she can put food on the table and gets arrested because her son escaped the sight of her daughter for a minute? That's apalling... If the neighbor is the one who called the 2nd time, then he or she sure has a lot of time to sit at home and play tiddleywinks while this woman is out working and trying to provide for her children, so why can't this person help out if it's that big of a deal to them?
Because this snobby neighbor probably has the attitude of "Not my kid not my problem." If that's the case, she needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut and mind her own business instead of acting like an elitist!
Just 20 years ago I was 12 years old taking care of my 6 yo brother and 1 year old sister. The times have definitely changed
These neighbors would have a stroke back in the 60s. Moms put kids outside and told them to go play. There would be kids everywhere. Thirsty? The hose.
My mom would put all 4 of us outside & lock the door til dinner time lol
I used to be left home alone with my dogs because my mother had to work two jobs. I never thought it was wrong and I knew how to take care of myself.
I’m a kid of the 60s… all those times I was tossed around the back of the family station wagon; learned to ride my bike the hard way… no helmets or knee pads! And, I played outside with all the rest of the neighborhood kids and the setting Sun was our notice to get home! Also, if one of us kids got caught doing something wrong or we fell and got hurt, the neighbors had Carte Blanche to reprimand us or provide first aid! They never called the police on our parents! I was babysitting in the neighborhood at 11! What is with her neighbors?!!
We baby boomers seemed to have survived… it’s crazy!😉
They're woke and bratty. That's what's up.
I watched all my younger siblings by 12.... Being the oldest you help out the most!
The part I'm confused by is why are neighbors calling the police for playing outside? That's insane. I would start telling my neighbors that my kids will play outside as much as they want. I would have told the police that I encourage my kids to play outside safely instead of being on screens.I'm confused why the friends mom called the police. I did that as a kid and the moms would just call each other letting my mom know I was here playing just incase I was just riding my bike around the neighbor and instead of going home came to their house. Are we seriously to a point that anytime kids are playing outside and being self efficient it's viewed as criminal behavior. I think its more neighbors get annoyed with the noise so they complain trying to force the mom by calling the police which is ridiculous.
The da must have been bored to bring up charges.
Being left alone is how I grew up to be independent from my parents when I became an adult, it taught me how to live on my own, cook, keep clean, and be weary of the outdoors, to do things like lock the doors at night. Stupid how leaving your children alone is considered a crime.
We NEED TO STOP bubble wrapping everything or our children will all be weaklings who cant take care of them selves, with no situational awareness
I really don't get what the mother did wrong. This is so ridiculous. Teenagers can babysit just fine. It is definitely not against the law.
I started staying home alone at 10, I was an extremely independent 10 year old. I was babysitting at 11 and 12 for a neighbor across the street and I was trusted completely with an infants life and a 3 year old with major allergies. Why is it so hard for people to understand that kids can handle a lot more than they think!
I was a latch key kid babysitting at 10. God parent at 12. Being responsible ended when the internet came about.
I used to babysit my siblings at 8...we were careful not to let anyone know that we were by ourselves. What a world we live in now. These police should focus their attentions on child predators online and on the streets rather then the parents who leave their kids supervised by their siblings!
I’m sure your parents are wonderful people but I actually think it is a little too young
@@Blake1720 We had no choice. My parents were working jobs that didn't pay well and we couldn't afford babysitters, so me being the oldest took care of my siblings.... But 30 some years later, we are all doing well and are educated and are blessed with jobs.
@@Blake1720 yea and what if someone broke in. Too many children parentified and think it's normal.
I was a top notch babysitter at that age. Fast forward almost a decade later, my younger siblings of around that age (lil younger&older) are doing the same thing, never had any accidents.
I used to stay home with my little brother (5 years younger) all the time. I'm sure I was as young as 10 or 11. We're both in our 40s now. We both made it through childhood safe and sound!!
Ridiculous she needs new neighbors
If the girl was babysitting, then she should have been granted the day off school and ONLY been just babysitting ..not juggling both online school and watching the young kids...OBVIOUSLY that diminished her ability to safely babysit the siblings ..the young boy could have been hit by a car or kidnapped let's not downplay this people!
I feel like 14 is old enough, unfortunate that she was arrested. Neighbors sound wack.
This is actually crazy....
3:44 what I find interesting is the police are arresting her for leaving her 14 year old to babysit. BUT in the process of that they are all of a sudden fine with her leaving them alone, meaning the 14 year old would have to babysit again. "Tell them you are going to the grocery store and will be right back". Why is it all of a sudden ok then?
Maybe because she's being charged because the younger child left the house? I'm not sure. It's all dumb. Or there's something being left out
@@vanillaskies5186 what's funny about that? Please don't breed. We don't need more statists in this world
Back in early early 2000s I was a babysitter for my moms friends! It was only me and the 2 kiddos. I started off when the kids were both new borns! I would babysit starting on a Friday evening all the way through Sunday evening all by myself and no one else! I was 12 at that time too! My heart goes out to the parent/parents that literally can’t afford to stay home with their kids. It’s beyond sad and I’m sure it’s really hard too.
The neighbors should ofer to help if they 're so worried. The lady seems like a nice person.
Someone needs to wake up to a dump on their doorstep 💩
@@tedkaczynski3748 true
I would bet she gets her house egged by troublemaking teens who aren't left any responsibility...
I started babysitting at 12 in the 1970s - and two of my friends joined me in my "business." We never watched infants - I'd say ages 4 and up. We were well known in our neighborhood, so many parents used our services. I certainly think that leaving your 14-year-old daughter in charge is not negligence. The arrest was completely unwarranted. The police should've just interviewed the two siblings, interviewed the neighbor - then talk to the mother when she got home. The daughter should've been more "aware" but her little brother probably got bored and went next door to play with his friend. That police department overreacted.
I was babysitting infants at twelve. But unfortunately, our society has allowed bureaucrats to take over decisions usually left to communities and parents. We must take back control of our cities, states, and country.
This is so wrong.
What is wrong with America?😳
My sister at 1 year old used to visit our neighbours houses with just the dog as the baby sitter. No one dares pick her up or else the dog will eat them alive
How about the cops go after the real criminals not the mother who is trying to make a living and support her children rather than popping them out and living off the system. How about arrest the neighbor for false allegations.
The neighbor didn’t need to call the police. She just needed to call the mom and take the kid back to the home. What a b*
This poor mom I feel so awful for her. This is ridiculous.
I feel like everyone here has babysat and young ages lol
Good grief someone needs to get over the stupidity. The daughter was old enough to babysit. Not to mention many teenagers have their own children
Exactly. These neighbors need to get off their high horses acting like they're so superior! If more teenagers were made to babysit their younger siblings, less teens would be out on the street causing trouble!
This is ridiculous. This mother had to work. I’m the oldest out of 5 kids and my mom was a single mother, I was 11 and watched my siblings. But this was also in the 90’s. Maybe the authorities should investigate the mother and fathers who actually kill their kids. Leave this mom alone and investigate a real crime. (I whole heartedly support law enforcement, so don’t come for me) I’m just saying this is ridiculous.
I do too, but I simply can't in this case. The police where I grew up would've laughed at any neighbor for calling over a child being left in the care of their teenaged sibling or even a latchkey kid unless the kids were up to delinquency.
Dr Phil sure is making light of the situation. I understand Covid but the police have been called twice. And how can you assume she’s not “dangerous” by her looks?! What blond hair and pretty? 🤔🤔
There would be cps reports. there are none. the daughter is old enough to babysit by law
Yeah I peeped that. I believe the daughter is old enough but where there's smoke

This is absurd. Accidents happen honestly the younger kid should know better than to run off. But this is all just a bad afternoon. No harm was done at all.
Seems like she only had Karen's as neighbour's... Hope the family have moved away from that toxic neighborhood.....
That's bullshit..I was staying home alone at like 10 and watched my brother all the time during say middle school years. And it was considered very normal, very common then. I know times are different but placing her in cuffs is a huge overreaction.
Bad neighbour! Instead of helping out this single mother calling the police to take her down. How is that in the best interest of the kids that they so called trying to protect by calling the police. 🙄
Well, now the kids will end up in a foster home where strangers will beat them and neglect them. All because of a busybody! I hope the mother gets the charges dropped.
My mom owns a dance school and her kids go there. The reason they said the girl had a “learning disability” is because she has adhd and that’s it. She is very smart and an amazing student. Another student who used to go lives 2 houses down from hers and the neighbor has a vineyard and is very very crazy. This is so sad and I’m glad they came on the show! Edit: The neighbor is a students at the dance schools moms sister-in-law
Well clearly her daughter even at 13 wasn't responsible enough to be looking after a small child.. how is this up for debate? The 4 year old walked out of the house.. the mother didn't mean harm but that's bad judgement & neglect.. her circumstances are tough but that doesn't change the fact that the 4 year old comes first..
14, Ryan. While you struggle to grasp the facts of a 3 minute video maybe go off and suck your last name.
I grew up in the 1990s, as I was born in 1987. I babysat at that age, too. The right thing to do would have been to bring the child home. It’s not the teen’s fault that she had to do schoolwork. However, I will add that children at a certain age require more attention and supervision. I was raised with a large extended family, so I think that the best time to do schoolwork was if the young children were napping or playing inside.
That’s ridiculous
I was a babysitter at 14.
Do any of the geniuses in that area present any other options?
Punish a single mother during a pandemic heartless
The neighbor is jealous because the single mother is cute
This is absolutely ridiculous. There are people in my town who continuously use drugs around their kids, bring unsafe people around their kids, neglect them, don't care about their well-being, etc. And I report them but nothing ever comes of it. Yet this mom is arrested for leaving her own teenage daughter in charge of her kids and one accidentally slipped outside?! She obviously cares about her kids!! There are people who leave their young kids under age 6 home alone and go to the bar! She went to work! This is so upsetting. Resources need to be used to arrest the actual neglectful parents, not this woman. And can you imagine how bad her 14 year old felt for accidentally having the 4 year old outside and her mom get arrested for it?! Who is this nosy neighbor that keeps calling the cops for unnecessary reasons? It's probably an older lady peeking out of her windows "oh those kids are out in the road call the police!" they're literally in their own driveway.......come on now! I babysat 3 children when I was 13 years old, and one had Spina Bifida. That was in the late 90s early 00s though. We expect children nowadays to be so responsible but then give them no responsibility? Kids usually rise to our expectations, or want to.
Wow this is just so ridiculous!! That mother did NOTHING WRONG! God forbid the daughter is human and got distracted probably took less than 2 minutes for him to slip out the door too. Where I live in Oregon I babysat full time a newborn and a 1 yr old when I was 13 yrs old. This is complete bs! That poor mom, my heart breaks for her.
My son is 12 and he watches his 6yr old brother and 7yr old sister when need be..I be waiting a nosey mf to tell the cops about the sacrifices I have to make to go out and provide for my kids so if your not hiring me a babysitter MIND YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!
This is disgusting!! I started babysitting at 13. She's damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. I had my 14 year old niece watch my daughter over summer break. I feel for this momma. From one mom to another I just want to hug her, and let her vent. I'd also like to donate some money to her, to help with all legal support. DCFS CPS whatever you call em are going after the wrong parents!! When this happened, a kid was being beaten by their caregiver. I don't see neglect, I see a parent doing her best. ♥️
I just did some research on google and she was cleared. The charges were dropped. This shouldn't have even been investigated in the first place but I'm glad the justice system got this one right. The kids can have their mother back and put this behind this. The person who should be investigated is the neighbor who called the cops on her. Calling the cops was an extreme overreaction and she shouldn't have received legel trouble in the first place. But I'm glad their unneeded turmoil is gone. I can't post a link because my comment is probably going to get censored.
Most neighbours would offer help
This mother works hard is doing her best
If she didn't work she'd be accused of being lazy and a drain on society and because she works she's neglectful and an unfit parent.
Thankfully the child wasn't injured
I really feel for this mother
This is just pathetic. Yes let’s punish this woman for being out there making a living. At 15 I babysat for a family that had 5 kids from ages 9 months to 12 years old. I watched them five days a week all summer from 8 am to 5pm. I was more than capable of it and am sure this young lady was as well.
I understand why she was arrested. Let’s be honest ladies and gentlemen the baby could have died or been kidnapped. It’s still negligence… because she put her daughter in charge.
BUT nothing terrible happened… she should have received a citation at the least… I think the court is trying to use her as an example.. they do it all of the time.
The “baby?”
The kid was over ten years old!
This is probably the least intelligent comment I have read on here
@@IronPsyde did you hear where he said the child was FOUR YEARS OLD??? He could have got hit by a car or kidnapped.
It’s NEGLECT. She left her 14 year old child in charge.
If a 4 year old not a baby to you… I pray for your children. Lmao IF YOU HAVE ANY.
@@CandyGurll2004 What an elitist, snobby and spoiled attitude you have. Your parents should be embarrassed. A fourteen year old is capable of watching her younger brother. All she did was her homework and the brother decided to be disobedient and sneak out. Because boys are naturally hardheaded. Would you rather the fourteen year old be out partying and getting pregnant while her mother slaves away, making zero income??? Some people have to WORK FOR A LIVING KAREN!

UNLIKE YOU WHO THINKS MONEY COMES FROM TREES IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT! GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!
@@CandyGurll2004 GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE KAREN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE! THE FOURTEEN YEAR OLD DID JUST FINE! HER BROTHER WAS DISOBEDIENT AND SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
When I was 13 ( in the 80's) I babysat for my English teacher and Social Studies teacher's kids all summer and school year. We all survived and nobody was arrested.
Bro im Mexican, i was babysitting at 9 😐 my brothers were 1 and 3 at the time
I first babysat my 6 yr old brother when I was the age of 9 as well
Honestly... the world is over populated with Karen's and Roger's. Most have 9-1- already dialed just looking for ANY reason to hit that other 1
It's ridiculous kids are not learning responsibility at all and parents have their hands tied
Yes, well in this day and age, you have spoiled, woke, participation trophy brats who think everything is abuse and that they're so important that they don't need to have any responsibility. That they can't help out their parents. 🙄 It's ridiculous.
Did the police not feel stupid at all arresting this woman and waiting for someone to come watch the kids so they wouldn’t be alone, because she’s charged with the crime of leaving the kids alone? What a waste of taxpayer resources and abuse of authority.
My state is up to the discretion of the parent…when you feel your child is responsible enough. Although yes the kid walked out…but this happens to grown ups…
That's absolutely ridiculous I started babysitting when I was between 11-12 it is not against the law to babysit at that age or any other age
This is completely ridiculous 🙄 I've seen parents let there kids run around on the main road numerous times an they never arrested them. An they were just drug addicts neglecting there children.
She was being arrested for leaving her children alone, yet the police officer was happy for her to leave them alone “and go to the store” for her to be arrested 🤷♀️ makes no sense to me
Soooo....calling the mom wasn't the LOGICAL option...cool
People need to start minding their own business! There is nothing illegal about children being left to be watched by their older siblings! People these days are so out of touch and privileged!
When being poor is against the law
WHAT??? I take care of my siblings all the time. She shouldn’t be arrested.
mommy of the year!
Does she have a Gofundme for legal expenses?
And a good realtor needs to find a new home for the neighbor.
I babysit my siblings at 13 what's wrong with the neighbors I feel bad for the mother
