3-Year-Old Found Wandering Outside At Night In 25 Degree Weather

3-Year-Old Found Wandering Outside At Night In 25 Degree Weather
No coat, no shoes, the boy walked out of the apartment after he was scared because his father left him home alone. This happened right on a main thoroughfare in Westchester - I drove right by the site about 20 minutes ago. This road is like a highway - 6 lanes wide!

I think its tuff to bring up a kid without support. i think its an African saying "It takes a village to being up a child". I'm not saying that its OK what the dad did - like on the site's comments he could have kept him warm, etc and should have taken him along or gotten someone to watch him.

that's the thing with everyone 'getting a life' nuclear families ... need to pay someone to watch your kid no grant parents or friendly trustworthy neighbor ... its still a lot like that in India. a friends bro in law lost his wife a few years ago. the in laws moved in with him immediately even though they had a grand old house enjoyed their club life ... but so many people have to leave their city nowadays for work - so even here u hear of the 6 year old kid who is alone till 10pm when his folks get back after a 2 hour commute.
