Left Alone...Again

I went outside around 1am this morning to smoke.

I drank too much coffee, and couldn't get to sleep.
I was probably only out there a few minutes when I saw my
neighbor from the next building walking over.

She was mad.

"Do you know this fucking bitch left her daughter?... Again?"

It took me a minute to realize what she was talking about.
Then I knew.

The ghetto bitch in the apartment above her, went out clubbing
and left her 5-year old daughter home alone, and this was not the
first time.

Her daughter comes outside and sits on the steps and cries.

No phone. No contact numbers. No nothing.
5 years old.
What kind of mother does that?
What could ever be more important than the safety of your child?

She said that her mother was not home, and she didn't know where she was.
She woke up and looked for her mother but could not find her.

The police were called and they somehow got in contact with the mom.
She told them that she was at the grocery store "around the corner."

At 1am?
Huh?

It took her more than 30 minutes to get home.
She did not have one fucking thing from the grocery store.

But she did have on high heels and club clothes.
Another neighbor heard her shoes clicking down the stairs around 11pm

This is just not okay.
I know there might be some people that just want to defend her behavior,
but there is no excuse, and no reason good enough to defend that.
I don't care who you are and what your circumstances are.
Period.
