Reconsider ... ?

After having spoken with my friend Ally I feel a little differently about the role and responsibility of Midtown S&W mentioned in the last post.  Ally said that the responsibility for this should fall squarely on the shoulders of the parent/s that left their child unattended in a place where other adults had access to her.  I still think the gym should have a policy that no children should ever be left unsupervised in any part of the gym and the day care room etc. should be locked when there are no staff in it.  BUT I agree with Ally about the root of responsibility being in the parents not the gym.  The gym screwed up but not in a neglectful way in that they failed to provide supervision but in that they inadvertently provided an environment where this sort of thing could happen; a place where children get left basically unattended but there is a general feeling of safety. (in a gym, with lots of members/staff around etc).  Lesson learned.  I just hope that little girl gets what she needs from her parents and gets therapy and is the type of person (this most especially) that can recover and sort it out and move on to have healthy, happy romantic and sexual relationships when she grows up.
