What would you do about child playing alone?
Hi all, hope you are well.
I live in a small town near the midlands.
For some time now, I have noticed a 3 year old child playing in the street. Sometimes with other kids, and sometimes on their own.
The parents are nowhere to be seen, and I don’t know who they are.
The child will often be sat down in the middle of the road, just doing stuff 3 year olds do. This was happening last year as well, so the kid was 2. The kid will also run into the road chasing a ball and such like. The child can’t speak so I don’t know where they live.
It is often all day.
It’s been reported to the police and the social workers (other neighbours have done this), but nothing seems to be being done.
Should people continue to report this? Lots of people are very concerned, but as is expected, most people prefer to not get involved.
Should I report again? What would you lot do in my situation?
