How can people be so ignorant? Details...?

Alright I'm at Wal-Mart last night getting a few things. As I was leaving, there was this lady with her two kids. The little girl was probably 4 and the little boy was probably 1. Well it's about 40 degrees outside and all 3 of them are pretty well dressed--except for the fact that the 1 yr. old doesn't have shoes or socks on. He's outside in 40 degree weather with nothing on his feet. He's bawling and his feet are red. I'm just thinking to myself "How ignorant can you get?" I mean, it doesn't take a genius to figure out "Hey, it's cold out. Might wanna put something on my kid's feet before we go." It's not like they were poor or anything. They had a nice car, kids were dressed nicely, they weren't dirty, etc. so I'll give the mom the benefit of the doubt there. But really--how stupid can you get? That 4 yr. old little girl could probably figure it out better than her mom that "I think baby brother needs some shoes on.." What do you think about parents like that?

i actually was in that situation one day behind this lady only it was winter like 0 out and i kept thinking to myself poor baby what is wrong with this woman and i dont know what came over me but before i knew it i was saying out loud i would buy some socks for my child instead of candy.. the woman said what and the look on the cashiers face was like omg... all i could do at that point was repeat it so i did... thinking here it goes i am going to get smacked lol but all she did was storm out of the store the cashier said i cant beilieve you did that i said yea me either lol but some people shouldnt have any kids what kills me even more is when a mom and dad come in dressed in coats and hats and there kid is in a t-shirt come on if your cold dont you think the child is too...
Reply:MAybe he had just kicked them off when he had got into the store...my daughter used to do that..she likes her feet to be cold. I dont know why but she always does that...i used to put her shoes back on but its just a fight back and forth. So maybe she just stuck them in her shopping cart and was letting it go. I dont know what the case was but i know ive been proably considered guilty of that a time or two
Reply:there are a lot of ignorant people. but before you judge people you should think about maybe there is a reason why the kids feet are bare. i have a one yr old and she ALWAYS kicks her shoes and socks off. or maybe the baby had something wrong with her feet so she wasnt supposed to put anything on them. really, you never know.
Reply:The one year old probably took his socks and shoes off in the store and the mother was too busy to put them back on.
Reply:well I think she should figure it out before her child ends up in the ER.Because little children like that can get ill faster than teens/adults
