Who Does This!!!

As a mother, this is a touchy subject for me and as I’m writing this I’m half ready to contact these “guardians” (if that’s what you want to call them) and just try to understand what the heck was going through their minds when they did this!

According to a story published yesterday on ClickOrlando.com two foster parents were found lounging at the Caribbean Beach Club Resort in Disney World while their two and four year old children were left alone upstairs in the hotel room on the second floor of the building. These are toddlers, children not even old enough in most cases, to tie their own shoes let alone babysit each other while their foster Mommy and Daddy work on their tan! WHO DOES THIS!!

According to the story, The house keeper walked in to clean the room and found the two toddlers, one in just a diaper and the other in only underwear, wondering the room alone.  The housekeeper waited five minutes for someone to return and when they never did she contacted her superisor to report the situation.  There was no food and water available to the children, the bathroom door was left unlocked and accessible and I don’t even want to think what could have happened if the children wandered out of the room onto the balcony or started roaming the premesis unattended.

The guardians were finally tracked down at the swimming pool and asked to return to their room where they had to explain themselves to the police.  The female guardian told police she was completely aware that the children were left alone and she does this all the time. The male stated that he was perfectly okay with them being left unattended.  The worst part about this is that the woman works as a counselor at a school in Michigan!! A school, as in a place where children go on a daily basis.

This whole act is just a pure example of 100% selfishness and carelessness on the legal guardian’s ends.  Those children could have been hurt while they were at the pool playing honeymoon.  It’s not even like they were in their vacation home laying out back by their private pool while the kids played inside. . .  If they wanted to vacation alone, they should have brought a nanny or went on a Disney Cruise where the kids could have been left under supervision.  Shame on them and I really hope the state finds some responsible, loving foster parents for those children.
