The Unattended Baby
Watched a mom on the bus ignore her doozing toddler as his head bobbled, hit the railing and his tiny frame almost fall off the seat.
There was a distance between them. An entire seat on the 3-seat bench. She never once addressed him or scooped him into her arms like a loving mother would.
Instead, she was on the phone telling a man how much she is ready to move forward with him and needed to know he was going to be there for her and accept her.
As they arrived to their stop, the mom nestled her cell phone between her ear and shoulder, delicately placed her purse over her other shoulder and tapped her kid to wake up.
I couldn’t help but wonder, who is going to be there for that little boy.
