.. I am still shocked a neighbour noticed the girls in the car hours before they were found but saw no need to check someone was going to remove them.... Angry

.... I thought it was mandatory to report any child left in a car.. or animal for that matter..I dont know about you but I couldnt walk away....

I'm as shocked as you are.

I've even tried to initiate discussion about it, but some people think it's just "comedic".

If I saw a kid in a car, alone, I'd be waiting nearby until the parents arrived, or checking on the car every ten minutes (at least).

I wouldn't walk past a dog left in a car, so there's no way I'd not follow up on two children left on their own in a vehicle.

Some of the neighbours seem to think leaving flowers and soft toys on the fence will make up for their apathy.

What about the thoughts and prayers?

The neighbour may have been on the way to work when they noticed

I would have been late for work.

So would cods.

people tend to mind their own business when it comes to druggie neighbours

I doubt the kids were druggies.

What are the teddies for, by the way?

And the flowers?

You're a fargin hero - you don't know what the situation was.

You're simply being a fargwit with the remark about the kids not being druggies....... did they actually know where the mother was? She's the druggie .... druggies can be very reactive & violent towards people interferring, especially when they're high/wasted.

And don't hang the flowers & teddies bs on me. I never mentioned them.

It's not a disgrace .... or should I say those that work there are not a disgrace.

They are & I must of said it a few times since this happened & people started pointing fingers at everyone else they can ....

understaffed, under resourced, overworked & have one of the highest burn out rates & staff turnovers of any govt. sector

there are literally thousands of children/cases similar to this that they have to try & monitor & make calls on.

They are damned when they do & damned when they don't.

It's obvious when you see/hear what her friends have said about her being a "great" mum & that the kids weren't neglected.

She's is the one to blame for this situation & she should be locked up for a long time .....

but I'll bet a claim of mental health issues comes into play to try & get her off or placed into a unit where she will do some rehab time & then be let loose.
