A woman has been cautioned by police for leaving her 14 year old babysitting her 3 year old for half an hour. Is this some sort of joke?! Have they got nothing better to do? Plenty of 14 year olds have babies, are you really telling me that they can't then look after them without supervision?!
Fair enough if she had left the 3 year old on their own without anyone at all, or if she had left the 14 year old with the 3 year old when she flew to Spain on a booze up for a week but come on, 30 mins?!
I was more than capable of babysitting at age 14 and if the child is sensible then I don't see the harm?

Am I missing a point or just being an irresponsible parent?!
