It is also OK to instruct children not to answer the door for a stranger when they are alone at home. Often enough, you wold not want to answer the door even if the mother is home!

An 11 year old is capable of watching her siblings for a few moments during the day. You see she did the right thing - when she was frightened, she called the cops instead of taking everyone and hiding under a bed or something... Get a life, everyone!

The system needs to be changed . patreolman do a generally great job of preventing crimes . when it comes to decisions similar to calling DYFS or other matters like that ,not every regular policeman ,necessaeily has the correct judgement to make those decisions . Since these can have very serious consequences for the family involved ,it should be required that only a specially trained superior reporting directly to the Chief ,make those types of decisions . It is not necessary for every cop on the beat to automatically call DYFS without consulting his superiors and getting permission . The cop should be required to turn the matter over to a seasoned well trained superior . Once DYFS is called ,even erroneously ,a familiyes life can be irrevocably turned over .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-71249002237813269282009-08-25T10:23:14.935-04:002009-08-25T10:23:14.935-04:00now the cop has an agenda....you know you are so d...now the cop has an agenda....you know you are so dim 1:26 and whoever attacked 8:48 needs a reality check also, you know about a year or 2 frum parents left their children home alone with their eldest and went out of town for a week and their home caught fire and destroyed the home, some of those children had to be rescued from the burning home, so don't act like it can't happen, just thank G-d none the children were hurt, i'm sure this mother cares for her children as she did ask the neighbor to keep an eye on them but someone of greater age and maturity should have been supervising them directly, the officer was reasonable in calling DYFS, i myself have called them after repeatedly watching a mother leave her 2 year old unattended while she was down the street talking to a friend, my wife and i spoke with her and her husband and they showed a complete lack of concern, finally my wife witnessed the child almost get run over when it ran out into the street, that was when i called.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-71558357119303094482009-08-25T09:52:15.903-04:002009-08-25T09:52:15.903-04:00yes, i would think an 11 yr old is definitely old ...yes, i would think an 11 yr old is definitely old enough to be left babysitting for a short period of time especially during the daylight hours. im curious though, do ppl never take a shower unless their spouse is home babysitting?? its almost the same as running out for a few minutes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-76934360610219056502009-08-25T08:35:20.804-04:002009-08-25T08:35:20.804-04:00call obama !! maybe he can create a babysitting ...call obama !! maybe he can create a babysitting czar. i am sure someone has his numberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-43818388120292331352009-08-25T02:06:51.663-04:002009-08-25T02:06:51.663-04:00To anon 1:26 A:M

All though I don’t commend the mother for doing so, the story went as follows; the mother went out to drop a child of a few blocks away and told the neighbor to look out for the kids for a few. Either a gardener or deliver guy came up to the door and was ringing and banging on the door quite excessively which frightened the kids so they called the police. 3 patrolmen showed up, the neighbor came by and informed them that he’s in charge. They were satisfied and 2 of them left. The 3rd, Patrolman Hunter wasn’t satisfied and decided it was necessary to call DYFS. The neighbor tried to have some sort of intelligent conversation but no matter he said he stuck to his guns and said he was calling DYFS. He then proceeded to call in front of all and he played this up so huge that one would think this was the worst mother in the world. It was quite obvious that there was some hidden agenda here and he wasn’t so extremely concerned with the welfare of the children who were just fine and under the neighbors watchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-79395879361293121542009-08-25T00:56:07.569-04:002009-08-25T00:56:07.569-04:00Instead of commenting say a Kapital Tehillim for t...Instead of commenting say a Kapital Tehillim for this poor family who may have months or years of tzoros and who knows wat elseFed Upnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-33327887214834082022009-08-25T00:10:10.660-04:002009-08-25T00:10:10.660-04:00to anon 1130 y don't YOU check your facts. the...to anon 1130 y don't YOU check your facts. there is no legal age. its a matter of maturity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-52805893752385237542009-08-25T00:08:18.507-04:002009-08-25T00:08:18.507-04:00It's spelled LEGAL people, learn to spell !!!!...It's spelled LEGAL people, learn to spell !!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-34522315815022271022009-08-24T23:30:22.536-04:002009-08-24T23:30:22.536-04:00please check your information.
