Dear Editor:
I was shocked and uncertain what to do recently when I took my grandkids to a playground in Fergus.
There was a little girl there, all alone, her face painted with makeup. I asked where her adult was and why she was alone. She was eight years old, her dad lived “not far away” and apparently approved of her playing by herself.
About an hour later, another dad dropped off his seven-year-old daughter, told her to behave and drove away.
I was really horrified that two little girls were left on their own. Anything could have happened — from injury to abduction.
Shame on these dads.
Valerie Hill,
