Babysitter calls cops on neglectful mother
A babysitter had no choice but to call the cops on a neglectful mother who failed to pick up her child. After the father canceled last minute, the babysitter and her boyfriend took the child in for an overnight stay. The mother agreed to pick him up by 9 am the next day but failed to do so and informed them that she had a hangover and wouldn’t be able to pick him up until 2 pm. The babysitter was left furious, and after waiting for an hour with no sign of the mother, she called the cops. The mother arrived at 3 pm and was angry to discover that the babysitter had called the cops and taken her child to the station. This incident was the last straw for the babysitter and her boyfriend, who had previously noticed the mother’s neglectful behavior. The mother would change her child’s diaper only twice a day and refill his bottle with rotten milk. Read on for comments and reactions.
