911 call: Mom makes me do HOMEWORK!

Mom works Fast Food to buy the kid Nike's and he does this.
At age 10, fully able to call 911 for such crap, is leaving
this kid alone for a few hours really neglect?

Can't 10 year olds be certified for babysitting?

White Plains boy calls cops on mom who ordered him to do homework
By RICHARD LIEBSON THE JOURNAL NEWS (Original publication: December
28, 2006)

WHITE PLAINS - She insisted her son do his homework the day after
Christmas, so he called the cops on her.

Now, the 10-year-old's mother is due in City Court today to answer to a
child endangerment charge after police responding to the boy's 911 call
discovered that he'd been left home alone.

The 32-year-old mom was arrested Tuesday after her son made the
emergency call and beseeched officers "to come and take his mother away
because she was pressuring him to do his homework,'' according to a
police report.

When police arrived at the Ferris Avenue apartment, they found the
youngster home alone and were informed that his mother was working a 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. shift at a local restaurant. While police were there,
the boy's mother called to check on him.

Mother and child were taken to police headquarters. The mom, whose name
is being withheld by The Journal News to protect the boy's identity,
was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. She
does not have a listed telephone number and could not be reached for
comment.

She was arraigned by City Court Judge Brian Hansbury, who released her
without bail after signing an order of protection requiring her not to
leave her son alone or abuse him in any way.

Police said the state's Child Protective Services agency was notified
of the arrest and is conducting its own investigation.

There was no word on whether the boy finished his homework.

when i was 10 years old i had 2 jobs raking leaves and delivering
newspapers. i lived with foster parents and when i needed money i
worked as they also worked to raise their families. they arrested this
woman for leaving her child alone at home , give me a break, this
spoiled brat did not want to do his homework so he called 911. what
he really needs is a job to keep him busy, to help out his mom who is
doing the best that she can. now some child protection agency will put
her on it's watch list. she will lose her job and go back on welfare.
nice system, in fact her kid needs more than a job. like a good hit in
the rear end. but i guess this would also get her locked up for child
endangerment. sometimes these systems over do it, and cause more harm
than good .

And you know she spends her money this way how?

Maybe she'd do better having him grub through trash alongside the road,
in park garbage cans, and dumpsters beyind the local Walmart, for
recyclable cans and bottles.

I hear some "parents" might just do that.

Shocking, absolutely shocking.

At age 10, fully able to call 911 for such crap, is leaving

Yeah, those 10 year olds all have their **** together, won't panic, and
for sure won't go out of the house while mom's gone. Yeah, that's it.

Can't 10 year olds be certified for babysitting?

Was he? If not, then what good would it do to know he 'could be?'

And I doubt it. Ten is kinda young to leave a kid on his own all day.

newspapers.

It's 2007, in a couple of days. Things change. Really.

i lived with foster parents and when i needed money i
worked as they also worked to raise their families.

Careful. Anything that appears as approving of foster families will get
you savaged in this newsgroup. Here lurk antiCPS crusaders, in capes
and top hats. Honest.

they arrested this
woman for leaving her child alone at home , give me a break, this
spoiled brat did not want to do his homework so he called 911.

Or he got scared. And couldn't think of a better excuse. 10 year olds
get some funny ideas. LIke that someone knocking at the door when they
are home alone might not be up to any good.

what
he really needs is a job to keep him busy, to help out his mom who is
doing the best that she can.

Well, she could do a little better. I understand there are fellows out
there ready to volunteer to move in with momma and take over shower
room duties, spank kids for not hustling at the can and bottle
retreival along the roadsides and in the dumpsters of the nation, and
will buy the kid used Nike's when he gets enough money from refunding.

now some child protection agency will put
her on it's watch list.

Well, if you'll leave you kid alone all day, at 10, in these times with
the kinds of people we see, even in this newsgroup, I think that's a
righteous action. I'd be watching her if I was her neighbor.

she will lose her job and go back on welfare.
nice system,

She will? How?

in fact her kid needs more than a job. like a good hit in
the rear end.

Ah yes. That's helps wonderfully to focus the concentration on those
muliplication tables.

If only the teachers knew that.

but i guess this would also get her locked up for child
endangerment.

Naw, spanking is legal in every state, though I've heard Minnesota's
laws on it can be interpreted as it being illegal under certain
circumstances. The rest of you can beat your kids bloody and hope that
some judge like the one a few months ago, will say it's okay,....cause
it's traditional.

sometimes these systems over do it, and cause more harm
than good .

Doubtless.

Was that the case here?

How come, Greg, you did not give a citation with link back to his
original message?

You have this passive agressive problem with being terribly anal
retentive, Greg, did you know that?

You hold back the very meat of an issue to get us to beg you to tell us
the truth. It gives you that warm tingly feeling as you let a few bits
of warm **** seep out your anus.

Doesn't it, Greg?

R R R R R RR R R R R RRR

This 10 year old child was left alone. Can 10 year olds be left alone?
Of course. Of course, we also know nothing about this case, nor do
you, Greegor, know anything about how she was spending her money.
Perhaps she wasn't working for Nike's, but for food and shelter for her
child.

The child's call to 911 was possibly a call for help. A call from a
little child who felt alone and abandoned. A little child who needed
the presence of a parent or caring adult? And yes, a 10 year old is a
little child.

LaVonne: You're an ""expert"" on babysitting in Minnesota.

A 10 year old can be a licensed babysitter in Minnesota right?

The child felt alone and abandoned while the parent WORKS??
We're not talking about a retarded or mentally ill 10 year old are we?

What's with the rediculous bleeding heart stuff LaVonne?

Don't you think a 10 year old should be ready for some RESPONSIBILITY?

Kids must have fun MANIPULATING you LaVonne, every

The story was out of New York...the last time I heard, that's where
White Plains is.

What would Minnesota have to do with licensing in NY?

The child felt alone and abandoned while the parent WORKS??

Ten year olds are real hip on what "working" really means for an adult.


We're not talking about a retarded or mentally ill 10 year old are we?

Hard to say. That wasn't discussed in the article. Ten year olds can be
as mercurial as any adult, even more if they are feeling not quite up
to par.


What's with the rediculous bleeding heart stuff LaVonne?


Worry about a ten year old home alone is "bleeding hear stuff?"

Well we can see where your heart is concerning children and their
safety.

Don't you think a 10 year old should be ready for some RESPONSIBILITY?

Yep. An hour here, an hour there. But not all day. All that has to
happen is some crook casing the neighborhood get the idea this kid is
home alone and might just know where the goodies are hidden....you get
the idea?

And then again, according to you the world is jammed with "homos"
looking for little boys to futter.

You seem to have such a double standard, Greg. We are to protect our
children from homos, but it's okay to leave them home alone all
day...mmmmmhmmmm....


Kids must have fun MANIPULATING you LaVonne, every
manipulative 10 year you encounter must have a field day with you!

I'll betcha you are far more easily manipulated, Greg. Control freaks
are pushovers for kids. Why they have been known to call their grandpas
and get boyfriends of their mom face punched in, you know. Really, un
huh, happens. Trust me.

You just can't help being ascps and aps largest asshole, can you Greg?
