Eva, thank you for your kind words. I believe in giving others the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure the mother loves her children just as I love my own children. I can only hope that the young parents who see this story and comments they will make the initiative to better themselves as responsible parents. Someone once told me that your child didn't ask to be born. Meaning, it's all on me to take care of my children no matter the sacrafices. There are so many senseless deaths caused by irresponsible parents which are typically at the range of 14 to 27 years of age. Having babies at a very young age without preparing themselves to be parents has been a common problem in our society for decades. I'd rather help them become better parents by saying something instead of pretending nothing ever happened.

People in glass houses should throw no stones. What happened was a foolish, stupid, bad decision. One that will have many consequencs. But its funny to find out that the biggest basher of them all is a complete fake. This person has already lost their kids to srs. They use heavy drugs. Is in an abusive relationship and last known to be living in a van. This person has about 25 different aliases listed in their background check. Lets keep it real people. No phonies or hypocrites

An attitude like that will only get you into trouble. The question is, are you a child predator? A 7-year-old Georgia girl managed to scream and kick her way out of a kidnapping attempt in an Atlanta area Wal-Mart by a man out on parole for voluntary manslaughter. abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/02/caught-on-tape-girl-fights-off-wal-mart-kidnapper You can google dozens of cases of kidnappings and how many infants have died falling out of grocery carts that were left unattended. You want people to mind their own business? Benjamin Franklin said that being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn. Even better, Mark Twain If you have nothing to say, say nothing.

H2 you have some deep rooted issues with your own parenting skills for you to be so offended by the man confronting you, much less about my concerns. Your child twirling behind you and leaving an infant in a carrier sitting on top of a Wal-Mart grocery cart are completely two different incidents. At least you had a birds eye view of your child. The mother walked more than 500 feet leaving her children alone for several minutes not seconds. It's everyone's business when you bring your children into a public place especially when a child could be in danger. If you think my comment comes off snobby or as a know it all. That's your opinion. Let me just say I've been there, done that. As for expecting her to thank me, well that was just a little sarcasm. Hopefully next time, she'll think twice about leaving her infant unattended

i see this going on all the time at the mall too. its a good thing that cart didnt fall over on top of the baby. i agree that parents with young children are oblivious sometimes. i work in a daycare, if a person fails to report suspected child abuse or neglect may be charged with failure to report child abuse, a class B misdemeanor and subjected to a fine or time in jail. btw id like to thank you for noticing and waiting with the children. i am glad there are compassionate caring noticing human beings still left out there. next time you need to contact the stores manager or the authorities. this could be an ongoing problem for this parent and she probably needs help.

i find it interesting how you dont want anyone to call you out about your parenting skills. then dont give them a reason to say anything. child neglect or abuse is a crime and it is a crime if a bystander does nothing to help protect a child in need. if you dont get it now you probably never will. not all abusers are intentionally harming their children. many have been victims of abuse themselves and dont know any other way to parent. others may be struggling with mental health issues or a substance abuse problem. it may be easy to bristle at other people expressing concern. consider carefully what they have to say. denial is not an uncommon reaction.

Dear Miss Mallory, I will not let it go when three that's right three innocent children who depend on this deadbeat to care for them and he couldn't do it. I didn't even know of his past when I heard the story for the first time. I have a HUGE problem when I've personally seen him leave his kids in the car to run in to get high and may be inside for as long as 30 minutes at a time. Obviously you have the same beliefs as him. I'm not a hated, I didn't get dumped by him he is way beneath me and you better believe I will be at his hearings to speak for the children. Obviously mom and dad don't care. If you don't like my comments, don't read them. Better yet find Jason and party it up with him!!!

Glad I am not the only one who thinks this way.

sounds like someone needs to mind their own business. I would have given you a piece of my mind. Do you keep your kids right next to you at the house?
Posted by: Scott on Jul 9, 2012 at 07:12 AM

That makes too much sense to happen.

Child endangerment for running back to grab a loaf of bread or jar of food, what have you? Please. It may not be the smartest thing but I doubt it is considered endangerment. The woman didn't THANK you because she didn't ask you to watch her children. I had my child trailing behind me twirling and dancing but not keeping up when a man said "hey, hey, you are forgetting one.". I told him, I didn't forget her, I see her and she is just fine.". What I wanted to say is, mind your own business, she is not in any harm. Maybe you should stop doing people unwanted favors because you are coming off like a snobby know it all. Oh, and iI agree with Diana.

Really? Doesn't sound like anyone here is looking for a pat on the back or praise. Obviously your missing the point. Just remember the next time you decide to walk away from your children inside a large store such as walmart, there's a good chance you won't be so lucky next time. Someone will call the police on you for child endangerment. Then what? Be grateful enough that one out of 20 people that walked by your cart without so much as a glance cared enough to check on them. It's amazing how youth is wasted on the young!

I firmly believe that if people were made to go through such stringent procedures and checks before they were allowed to have children, it would certainly weed out the ones who weren’t responsible and who wouldn’t be able to handle the stress and demands of raising a child. Thus, improving the chances of the child after it is born.
