To the father & grandma of the 3 year old boy who my mom found wandering a busy Clayton Park street ALONE today:
How in the fucking HELL do you not even notice your small child isn’t home? It was easily a half hour between the time this baby was discovered walking in his socked feet, to the time the cops found his home. No calls came in to report a missing child.
You selfish, moronic piece of shit. Daddy was sleeping, Grandma upstairs on the phone? Never mind the toddler! He can fend for himself, I guess.
He was making his way to Dunbrack. Do you know how busy that one is? Wait. You`re too fucking stupid to.
He could have been killed. I feel sorry that that little sweetheart had to be returned to the neglectful likes of you. —Die so that baby can go to responsible people!

I have a 3 year old … this makes me pretty sick to my stomach.
No doubt the kid was looking for better people to live with. Dad’s drunk, and Grandma was too busy with TV Bingo.
anyone that dense, deserves a good kick in the fucking ass, or head. hope that child was given to the cops, so that they can find a non crackhead home for.what a fucking disgrace to the human race these fools are.
bring the little guy to me, and i’ll see that he gets a better home than anyone could imagine.
The father obviously should remain awake until the kid is 18 years old. They have drugs to keep people awake now. The grandmother should have tied the kid to her with a leash. Kid leashes exist too. Both of them should stand vigil over the child until the aforementioned 18, protecting him and making sure that the world is cushy and nice, and then toss him out into the real world to sink or float.
Yes, ensuring your 3 year old doesn’t leave the house alone and wander down the street for at least a half hour is clearly “making sure the world is cushy and nice”. Overprotective parenting and nothing more!
No, actually, watching a toddler is what responsible, LAW ABIDING parents do. I dont know any parents who would allow their 3 yr old wander a busy street alone…and yes, grandma should have been watching him, and daddy`s ass should have been awake. He`s a toddler. Ya kinda have to take care of them at that age.
When I was that age I was always on the go wandering off wherever. I’d say just about any parent has had a kid wander off or lose sight of them . Unless you have a GPS chip embedded in them how the fuck would you know what direction they took off in. Thirty minutes is not much time when you’re conducting a search.
You probably still go wandering off now …
I get that kids go wandering, but I have a young son, and I can guarantee this will never happen to him. While you may not be able to watch them ALL THE TIME, you can make sure they can’t get outside on their own (doors are easy to lock, and windows SHOULD be locked if a kid can get at them and you’re NOT watching them), and if they ARE outside…well then you should definitely be out there watching them. I’m with OP; Daddy’s gotta be responsible, and I’m surprised people are defending him for not doing so.
I’m with Bro Tim here, I too used to love wandering off and exploring when I was that age. Got lost a few times, but all ended up being good. No biggie.
The search was 30 minutes long but you guys have no idea how long it was between the time the kid got out to when he was noticed to be missing. It might have been 5 minutes, it might have been 15 minutes, it might have been 25 minutes. I would at least do a search of the house and immediate surroundings before screaming off to 911 (admittedly a panicky search). Reasonable to think this could take a few minutes. You people are assuming shit without knowing the whole story.
Is it just me, or does there seem to be a bunch of stories deliberately placed in LTWWB that never make it to mainstream media?
I smell bullshit, and I don’t live near the harbour.
i don’t think it’s just you baz. wabble wousers are everywhere
I think every child eluded their parents at least once while too small to be off on their own. This is how harnesses and baby gates came to be invented… not because parents WANT to lose their children but because it happens. Raising kids is hard. Good thing the whole community is involved.
From the sound of the story they didn’t even realize he was gone until the police randomly knocked on their door. There’s children running off situations where they go missing for a minute or 2 which can happen to anyone…but come on now…30 + minutes. I’m surprised this didn’t make the paper.
i remember when i was wee losing sight of me ma at a store, that few minutes of sheer terror seemed like an eternity. my big brother wore a harness-he had the wanderlust
friends of mine had their 3 yr old returned to them when he was found wandering towards a busy street. A concerned neighbour called police. It was 30 minutes before the parents called police themselves to find their child safe and sound… in the police station right across the street from where they lived! Their home was the biggest in the town and takes at least 30 minutes to search the house, carriage house, outbuildings and yard… add the 15-20 minutes it took to realize him missing and… YES, be a concerned neighbour but, NO, don’t presume to judge parents over a single incident of (almost) ANYTHING. Parenting is hard… takes the whole community and this is why. Imagine having to explain your neigbour “ripping off” your child from the sidewalk in front of your home just to “hide” them in the building across the street. We had a good chuckle over it… and then they fixed the gate.
I’ve mentioned this previously; I’d like to see NGF and Kay procreate, any guessses as to what might pop out?
The fetus would make a break for it as soon as it sprouted vestigial legs and make a beeline for the Macdonald Bridge, anti-jump barriers be frigged.
will ferrell
I got this one… while Fat is taking a shit….

Ivan, you’re wrong – it would abort itself.
Oh God I hope these 2 meet at a bitchers summit. It would be kind of amazing.
i’ll bring the tasers and riot gear
We’d make them do a duet “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” or “Islands In The Stream”
Maybe that song Rihanna does with M & M. >; )
Tim, I have a Family Guy inspired mental image of the fetus dousing itself with a can of gasoline and then lighting a match.
“tainted love”
Chicken curry on the monitor. Merci Painey. I know, I shouldn’t be eating at the computer – but this is fun. *Squak*
mmm. i asscone curry…i can use cheering up today aussi
asscone…. I like that one… he he. Paella in the oven here… vino in the glass the size of a fishbowl, and POW thanks to zZz… doesn’t get better than that. Ha! I think LTWWB has changed my life forever. Kind of disturbing, really…
i less than three <3 *mouse ears* paella
I’d ask Bro Tim to be the kid’s godfather.
Wow, that would be thre strikes ;>)
Sorry, but that’s a straight line I just couldn’t ignore.
gross
