There is a story from Quora that is being shared on Facebook that talks about how someone caught their neighbor leaving his 12 year old son home alone and didn’t come back within 6 hours. And the person was wondering if they should call CPS. Crazy, right? Well 12 might be somewhat ‘young’ but is it really?
Someone replied:
“At 5 years old I was put on a John Deere tractor with a disc attached and told to till the field. Dad said, don’t run over a fence and don’t drive into the woods or creek. Come find me when you run out of gas.
At 12 my older brother and I (10) were milking 15 cows five night a week while my dad worked second shift in a factory and my mom was in the house taking care of our 4 younger siblings.
Seems like we have made babies out of far to many kids today.. your neighbors son will be just fine.
You should stand up, be a neighbor instead of a pest and tell the father the kid can call you or come over if any emergency arises.”
What would you do?
Would You Call CPS On Your Neighbor For Not Coming Home For 6 Hours To His 12 Year Old Son?
