Hi there,
I am not sure this is the right place for this rant, however I am sure I will not be the only one upset about this!!

Let me start off by saying this is TEXAS and we are not used to much cold weather and it was about 48 degrees at 6 in the evening and very windy.
I was at a fall festival at a church in Pasadena with my two charges (ages 4 and 6) and we were waiting in line to make a bracelet. Well there was a family in front of us that had 4 children ages from about 5 to 10 and the little boy was helping the attendant make the bracelet. This poor child was not wearing a coat and was shivering so badly it was hard for the attendant to get the bracelet on him. I looked at the mom and said "he is so cold" her response was he did not want to wear his coat, it is in the car. OK, WHO is the parent?
AND if that wasn't enough, I saw a mom (wearing a jacket) with a 2ish year old girl on her hip and that poor child was wearing a lady bug costume with nothing on her legs or arms!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY?
Sorry, rant over....

Not Just a Nanny

Since you didn't mention alerting any authorities I must assume there was no real threat to the child's welfare. In other words, he was cold. Which does not "cause pneumonia" or whatever other fallacies people may hold about getting "cold" (uncomfortable) vs. getting "too cold" (risk of exposure).
IMO a child aged 4 or above with no developmental disabilities should be able to decide which is worse -- "shivering really hard" or "wearing a coat". Some people simply would prefer to shiver than wear a coat. Or if not, they are given the choice and learn from direct experience and make a difference choice the next time.
Thank you for that opinion Anonymous. I had not thought of it that way before. Although, I don't think I would let my charges dictate what they would and would not do, I do understand what your saying and how some moms/caregivers may let the child learn from his own mistakes.
Everything you just said. I totally agree (although I admit that as a nanny I sometimes forced the kids to wear coats even when they didn't want to and they probably would have been fine, if we were out in public, for the very reason that I knew some judgey person would comment.
Definitely not cause for concern alone. DEFINITELY not worth taking her picture and mommy shaming her on a public forum :'(
48 degrees is not that cold. Those kids will be fine. Sounds like at least the little boy refused to wear his coat and has some natural consequences. It's not like he's going to get frostbite or hypothermia at those temps he'll just be mildly uncomfortable.
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
