This story I am about to tell is completely true. It is unbelievable how irresponsible people are these days. I have a part time job at a movie theater, and I have a crazy co-worker. Mind you, I am a teenager just trying to make some gas money, this lady is in her 30's and is trying to make a living out of working there.
Anyway, she is talking to her friend on Sunday at the movie theater, and she says that her sister dropped her six-year-old son off at her apartment on Saturday night, as her sister and husband were going down the beach for the weekend. This lady forgot that she was working the next day, and figures she will have to leave the six year old home alone on Sunday. At around nine, her friend texts her and says that there is some club that is going crazy in Philly, and that she needs to get up there. She tucks the six year old in, tells him not to cook anything, and says that she will be gone for a little while. She goes up north, obviously drinks a ton, and stays at her friend's house. She then goes on to say that she work up at 11:20 on Sunday, and realized that she needed to be at work by 11:45. She is extremely hungover, and takes tree morphine pills-triple the amount prescribed for her back pain, gets in her car, and leaves at 11:25. She gets down to Newark by 11:50, which means that she drove 100 mph while high/buzzed on morphine to arrive 5 minutes late. She remarks that it was a "crazy, fun night" and hopes to do it again. All the while, she still hasn't checked on the six year old.
I didn't say anything while listening to the story, but I wish I had. I don't care when people do stupid things, we all do them sometimes, but when those stupid things put others in significant danger, there is a problem. She called the kid on her break, and he was fine, but it's ridiculous to think that a kid can be home alone at six years of age. If she tells anymore stories in a happy, jovial mood of her doing stupid things, I will be sure to let her know of the risks she is taking.
