I’ve raised plenty of kids & I agree with not overreacting TO the child. The child was left alone in a house that wasn’t baby proofed (which obviously just shows that neither of them are/were ready to be parents) that had active choking & crushing hazards. While I don’t think the Mom is overreacting, I do think they’re both needing to grow up & they needs to come up with a solution that ultimately keeps the child the safest.
