    I remember when my girl disappeared when she was 2. My sister and I had searched the house and section...she went up the road while I went down the road calling her name. No sign of her. Pannic set in and I was boardering on hysterical. searched the house again and found her under her bed with her face covered in vivid!
    Kids eh?

    This is what Im hoping will happen. I found out the landlord lives in Chch and has no idea what state the place is in. No doubt she will be in arreas in the rent so might get kicked out sooner than later.

    after all, nearly all traffic tickets are concluded sucessfully from a police point of view - i suspect that situations concerning domestic chaos and parential neglect seldom are?

    ............must be difficult for them to keep on caring, keep on trying?
    Sick and sad but so true!

    No worries Dood. When I do move it will be back out in the sticks. Far enough out of town that the bike gets to warm up to get there.

    with any luck. is there any way you can contact the owner? maybe via the real estate agent or something?

    the rental across from us has had nothing buy shite renters... last one left her cat behind [and he got adopted by our immediate neighbour] and had people knocking on our door looking for her. she literally up and left... left everything behind. took PAE about a month to tidy inside and out... and im willing to bet the condition is about as bad again.
    funny but the rental next door to them has had nothing but good neighbours. young guys in last that had dogs and dirtbikes, but were quiet and respectful, and what appears to be a young solo mum at the moment. again, very quiet.

    the really happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery when on a detour.

    Lucky he wandered to your place and not off down the road...
    You did the right thing!
    I guess there is more revenue to be had in traffic tickets than unattended kids.
    And thank god he found you and not some freaky weird sort who might have taken advantage. Poor wee lad. And how can mum call him naughty? He would have no understanding at that age.

    You definitely did the right thing - well done!

    As for the police issuing tickets - was it definitely them who had been called to this 'job'? I remember stopping at an accident just down the hill from Parnell a few years ago where a woman had been run over and was lying in the middle of the very busy road. A police car sped past with all sirens going, didn't even look at the accident. When I phoned to complain about that, I was told that they were on their way to another job and weren't allowed to stop......seems the police aren't allowed to get involved with the thinking about priorities side of things any more (and this from a policeman's daughter.....).
    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

    Well, I got home this arvo and as I was unloading the car I hear yelling and banging coming from down the road. Couldnt make it out but next thing a van full of red hoody wearing mongrels, and towing a horse float stops in the middle of the intersection right oposite my house. They are yelling "PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN! PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN!!!" I told my boys to get upstairs and stay inside! They yelling continued along with "SEIG FUKIN HAIL!" Then they drove off.
    There goes the neighbourhood!

    let's just say that if they chose to hang with Gob's neighbours they'd be in the right company

    Why call cops? The hoodies had already driven away and the cops dont want to get involved in gang warfare anyway.
