I am trying to write a letter to a parent about leaving their child unsupervised.?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should write.I am trying to write a letter to a parent about leaving their child unsupervised.?
Unless the child is in immediate and terrible danger, or something illegal is happening, in which case you should be calling the cops, not letter writing, you need to remember that tons of parents do this ridiculous crap every day, and it is not your business until they illegalize it. How would you feel if someone sent you a letter like that?





I suggest you write nothing. Call the cops or butt out.I am trying to write a letter to a parent about leaving their child unsupervised.?
Need more infomation. How old is the child, why they're been left, how long they're been left for, things like that
Just tell them that you noticed that her children are left alone and really need someone to watch them and offer to help out. I know your heart is with the safety of the children but if you want to make a change for those kids.....offer your services and help out.
we need more info to be able to help you at all
Tell them that if they hadn't planned on parenting that they shouldn't have become parents. Explain that the next time the children are left alone, you will call the authorities.
Warning: Parents can get very defensive and offended if you talk to them about the way they are raising THEIR child. So whatever you do write...try not to make it sound like it is their fault.


Good Luck
I don't think it's any of your business what other people do with their own children. I think you should stay out of it. Sticking your nose in other people's business will just aggravate you and why cause friction?
how old is the child first of all....
Wow, touchy subject. It's easy for the outsider to just come right out and say you need to tell them about their parenting skills, but let's be real here. You will have to see them again. Don't do anything rash. Now that being said, being a new parent, I didn't realize all the dangers out there that could potentially hurt my toddler. I thought my neighborhood was pretty safe and that I could depend on my nice neighbors to help out. However, the thing that really got my attention was a newspaper article that talked about a toddler being stolen right from his fenced in backyard by a construction worker that was working near the site. Mom was doing dishes right at the window and watching her three year old play in a sand box. Then he was gone. It really opened my eyes and no one had to tell me anything. Find an article and send it anonymously. No bridges burned. Be humble and have a good heart about it. Remember you can't help protect a child by making mommy mad.
It depends on how old the kid is.


If its older than 7, whats the point???
It depends. If the child is 8 or under, it's illegal in most states and this angle could be used. Of course, child services should be involved if a child this age is routinely being left unattended.





If the child is older than 8 (say, 9-13), but still too young, irresponsible or immature to be alone you can use this.





If the child is an age that's typically considered acceptable for a child to be alone, but you have firsthand knowledge that the child is doing something dangerous or out of line it should be noted.
