S had a suspected break when they first took him in, it was put in a sling etc. She didn’t need to be there then, she took Wilby when she could have stayed home, she wasn’t even there because she was concerned for Seb - he got a bollocking from his dad for giving her grief by injuring himself
I agree this incident doesn’t require social services involvement and that services are beyond stretched. But people always say they’re fed, clean and appear happy but there is such a thing as emotional abuse and neglect, which I would bet at least one of those children in her care fall under.
If she was getting dressed, there’s no reason why W couldn’t have been with her or in his cot for a minute or two waiting for her. Or he could have been sat at the kitchen table while Josh was making Edie breakfast. Yes, accidents happen, but I stand by what I said - leaving an 8 month old baby alone in a non baby-proofed room is asking for trouble.
