Call the police and social services, posting it on here has caused you to technically be responsible for her continued risk as you delayed the time on reporting it
but really kids aint that daft even at a young age, if we were we'd never exist as a species
but yes, i suppose you are right.it just seemed late for her age and she looks so small.i think i over reacted as i would like my child to go to sleep.
is it really usual to let 4 year olds out on their own?
well either her parents are keeping an eye on her out the window or they're not either way I cant see that it has any effect on your life
How often actually does someone who's not a family member steal/molest a kid? its pretty rare as a percentage, if the kid is reasonably road savvy then they'll probably be all right
If they're watching her through the window, why let her bike down the middle of the road? People are allowed to be concerned about other people who don't have an effect on their life..
My 2 year old granddaughter run to the back of her daddies van to help him carry shopping... she was nude.. We didn't panic or anything.. We are all going to hell now
Yes it's completely normal to let a 4 year old out on its own playing in the road after dark... if you're a negligent crackhead.
i was thinking more of cars really as she was weaving about in the middle of the road.and a long way from her house so her parents can not have been keeping an eye.
she has gone in now,so no harm came to her.just an over reaction i expect from me due to wanting my child to go to sleep.
most parents do unless they live on the M25 otherwise they scratch parked cars
you must be one stressed anxious person if things like that stop your child from going to sleep, clearly you don't live on a busy road or an estate where people are throwing ragers
Meh, assuming you don't live on the M25 I don't think 4 is that young to be out peddling.
Plus, unless she is riding a motorcycle I fail to see why that would stop you from getting your own child to sleep.
you and me both mine are always in the road its amazing how they learn to get into the side or on the pavement once they've been hit by a few cars going 70mph down the cul de sac anyone would think I live on a drag strip
well that child clearly isnt road savvy. and yes its rare but it happens. Anything could happen to a 4 year old out alone at gone half 7. I don't believe in wrapping children up in cotton wool but come on, there are some limits
i must admit i did keep an eye out till she went in.
the problem is we're talking about a kid we personally know nothing about and have to make assumptions, could be that theres parents/family both sides of the road watching
why do you believe that, did you witness how she reacted when she saw a car approach? Kids are taught to play in the middle of the road when cycling so they don't damage parked cars and to get into the side when they see a car coming. Loads of kids cycle in their cul de sacs. I am sure like most neighbourhoods there are street lights, when I was young that was when we had to go home when the street lights came on and we were trusted to play from one end of our cul de sac to another at 4 and 5
Has she paid road tax?
Did she have lights?
Did she run over any guide dogs?
No helmet,no lights.and no also to the running over of guide dogs.just one little girl out,in my opinion too late,screeching ,having fun and keeping my child awake.i over reacted.
her having fun was keeping your child awake. No I would imagine your neurotic antics are keeping your child awake, a calm mother generally equates to a calm relaxed child perhaps you should get some tips off the 4 year olds mother
Neurotic antics?:D worrying about a small child out on her own?
Or worrying about the small window I have to get my son to sleep ,before his drug to make him sleep wears off, and we are up for the night?
when i was 4, i cycled down the path. And my 4 year old niece would never be allowed to cycle down the middle of the road alone at that time. It only takes a second for a car to come up, and anything could happen. I am just giving my opinion.. I wouldn't feel comfortable about it if it was my child.
