A 4 year old keeps coming to play with my 4 year old!?

You're not being paranoid at all! In fact, think about how bad you would feel if something happened to this poor little girl!

Talk to her parents first. Be tactful, and do your best to be polite and let them know that you don't want to offend them and that you are jsut concerned.

If the problem persists, you should call Child Protective Services and make a report.

Good luck!

Something should be done about this situation. That happens in my neighborhood a lot. I live in an apartment complex. There is kids younger than 4 years old out here outside alone. I did call CPS once on a lady that lived here b/c we almost hit her daughter one day in the road b/c she was over by the trash cans. She was always outside with a diaper and t-shirt only. I would try talkin to the parents first and then call CPS. There is no reason why this little girl should be walking alone 2 corners espically with a sex offender living nearby. You are a very caring mother and thats a good thing but you need to do the right thing her for that little girl.

Call child protective services her parents obviously dont watch her very closely.She could get hurt walk around by herself. I am a mother of 4 year old twins and my front door is chain locked so they cant even walk out the door without me there much less walk down the street. Her parents need someone to teach them what being a parent is about.

I think you should ask her about how she get's there and if her parents know she's there, and also try to find out if the only reason she comes over is to play with your daughter or if she's afraid to be at home (not necessarily in those words though). Then you shoud try to get into contact with her parents, and tell them about your concerns of her walking by herself, especially about the sex offenders. If nothing comes out of your talk with them, you should probably notify the police about your concern for her saftey.

Some parents do not have a clue. The woman around the corner from me did this. After several attempts to point it out to her, we contacted social services. We decided to make a report the night that she told us her mother told her not to come home until 6pm when we has told her to go home its dark out. Social services is now involved and I do not see the girl out wondering nor do I see her brother out there either.

Things like this break my heart. Parents who could care less that their small children are wandering outside alone.

I would report her parents. If that little girl ever got hit by a car or kidnapped I would just feel terrible. Just report them and if nothing happens then at least you tried.

For now, whenever she comes over tell her your daughter can't play. Maybe after a few times of that she'll stop coming over altogether which would lessen her chance of getting hurt or kidnapped. Also, when you see her outside make sure to tell her to look for cars and all that since she doesn't have anyone walking with her.

REPORT THEM REPORT THEM REPORT THEM

apparently these parents are being neglectful towards this child. maybe she sees your house as a safe haven

maybe she is being abused or living in a drug inhabited environment and shes safer roaming the streets than being in her own home

don't say anything to the parents this could lead to confrontation and you don't want that

Yes report her parents for neglect. She's four years old and going around corners and waiting on your doorstep. Somebody is being ignored and not being cared for if her parents don't notice she's not around!!! Call someone quick!!!!

You should call child neglect services. You should also notify the police....ask them to take a look over there and speak to them.

You are more caring for that child than they are.

You should report them, but be careful how it's done. You don't want to put the child in danger(anymore than what she already is in) or yourself or your family.
