Our next door neighbor has a 6 yr old daughter. He has sole custody, but his mother ends up taking care of her 99% of the time because he's either working or with his girlfriend. I had suspected that she was often left alone at home, but tonight I witnessed it firsthand. The grandmother left the house alone. Then the father pulled up in his truck about 2 hours later, and the young girl came outside. I feel so bad for this little girl.
