Thoughts on my ex leaving our 5 year old at home while she goes to the bus stop for her other kids?

@avimay I'd get one. I'd be very surprised if a lawyer and a court system would not see things your way. 5 years old is WAY to young to stay home

@sobetastic After my recent experiences in court, I’m pretty sure the courts aren’t going to give a shit about this. First of all- they don’t care if something bad COULD HAVE happened. They only care if something bad DID happen. You’d also have to have evidence that reaches “beyond reasonable doubt” burden of proof level. So like: in text message from her, photos of her leaving/returning to the house, a sworn statement from her, the blood of your firstborn etc…. Anyway-

Maybe I’m just cynical but yeah- the courts don’t care.

@noname5137 Nope they don't, not unless someone is being hurt

@avimay Then you’re kinda subjected to whatever if there’s nothing in writing with the courts. Sucks
