Negligent Dad Bank

I am feeling better now. I have decided to establish this blog as a resource, or seed bank, of negligent father stories. Future generations/social services will be able to look back on this record and marvel/use as evidence when taking children into care.

The first tale comes courtesy of our London correspondent. A friend of his (do we think this is one of those my mate stories?) was left in charge of his 9 month old daughter one Saturday. His wife was out with the other 2 for the day. Anyway, the baby was asleep, he forgot about her, went to the shops for a paper, had a beer on his front porch, and fell asleep. He only woke up when disturbed by some annoying baby crying. Why wasn't the mother taking care of it he wondered in his alcohol induced haze. Then his brain clicked… Ooops. Same guy lost his 2 year old daughter in a camp site. He was in charge again (what was the mother thinking!), and was sitting having a beer with his friend. Some mums were calling out if anyone had lost a little girl. He actually said no! Then saw her… She had gone about 500 yards through a busy camp site.

Astounding!. Well my advice...in future tether the child. A stake firmly driven into the ground and a length of hemp rope (difficult for little teeth to gnaw through) and problem solved. The child will be able to walk miles in a circular fashion and you are free to enjoy that well earned beer.

If you have a negligent dad story please contribute, I love you all
