Cars and Kids: Call CPS

Call CPS

By lyss - 16/02/2014 22:44 - United States - Pottsville

Today, I went to pick up my goddaughter while her mother went to work. She was being fussy, and I was surprised when she was quiet in the car; I just figured she'd fallen asleep. I got to my house and realized I'd never put her in my car, she was still sitting in my friend's driveway. FML

Today, I picked up my daughter from daycare. As we were getting into the car, I strapped her into the car seat, but something felt off. I looked back and realized I had picked up the wrong kid. In my defense, she was wearing the same jacket as my daughter. FML

Today, while driving home, I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw that my three-year-old daughter had managed to get out of her seat and had crawled to the back window. I pulled over and strapped her in again. Five minutes later she was back at the window. FML

Today, while waiting for my grandmother at the train station, a girl walked out and climbed into my car. When I cleared my throat to tell her of her mistake, she screamed and ran out as if I was a criminal trying to abduct her. FML

Today, I was waiting for a friend to pick me up. It was after dark and I was nervous, so when he pulled up I immediately jumped in the car. The young girl in the driver's seat started freaking out, screaming and punching me in the face repeatedly. I'd accidentally gotten in the wrong car. FML

Today, I was having a conversation with a new friend when she remembered she needed to grab something from her car. I don't know where she parked, but it's been two and a half hours and she's still gone. FML

Back to square one

Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML

Today, I woke up unusually early for an appointment and got ready real quick. Only after passing the front door did I realize I had forgotten my sleeping baby inside. FML

Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML

Today, I went to visit my aunt who lives 6 hours away from me. Her car was missing from her driveway, but she's unemployed and barely leaves the house. Turns out, she moved in with her new boyfriend and didn't tell anyone, so I had to drive 6 hours back. FML

Today, I picked up my daughter from the day care but before we left, the babysitter needed to have a talk with me. To fill you in, I got a brand new prius yesterday. Apparently my daughter told eveyone that her mommy got a new penis. FML

How do you actually forget a child?

Didn't you check your revision mirror to check on her any of the way home?? I always look in the revision mirror to check on the baby!

My thoughts exactly! And if the child is young enough to be in a car seat, those things are usually visible in the rear view mirror.

You should tell her not to use her invisibility powers in public.

How do you go somewhere to pick up a child, and not even make sure you put them in the car? Especially when she was the whole reason you went there...?

Omg! Count your lucky stars if nothing bad happened to the baby. I've heard so many past horror stories about dazed parents leaving their kids in hot cars and the outcomes being fatal. What you did was just as bad if not worse. Pay better attention from now on! *had to hold myself back from cursing you out!*

she didn't say it was worse than a dead baby... she said it could've been worse than leaving a child in a hot car.

Correct 40-- Of course not worse than a dead baby. I meant being neglectful with someone else's child. Don't take on the responsibility (especially if they're not your kids) if you can't do it correctly. Sometimes my English gets screwed up and I forget to write down all my thoughts while trying to avoid writing too long of a comment.

The outcome here could have been fatal. Or the kid could have been taken by some perv or sold into slavery. Those are worse than death.

I feel bad for that child. Did you get sidetracked or something OP?

Rule number one with kids: Always be suspicious when things get really quiet. Either mayhem or sleep is happening. In your case, it's probably best you just stay away from kids altogether.
