We Light attendants Sec so Many children from broken families and have concluded that Loo Many parents arc looking for the easy Way out. The Little ones look Brave when or dad sends them Oft and when they re met Al the other end bul Don t think for a minute thai the f. Flight is easy for hem. They Are still " children. I can see the frightened eyes of a dozen or More youngsters that i have cuddled and reassured on crop county flights. Parents Lake far granted that he person silting Nelto their child will assume parental duties or thai a flight attendant will be assigned to care for their youngster. It does t always work that Way. On yesterday s flight i had to move a Little girl because some passengers overheard the Man next to her using obscene language. Last week i Hod to move another Little girl because the Man next o her was holding her in a Way that Wade my Dun crawl. Hes Ridste Wiswald two weeks ago i sent 11 children off with one Arri Val agent through a crowded new York Airport. Any one who thinks one agent can take 11 children safely through a crowded Airport does t know anything about children.

Thanks for calling attention to a. Problem that need a be aired. Flight attendants around the world will bless you. Dear Ann Landers please Tell me what is wrong with the average Ordi nary repairman who comes to tie House to do a Job recently i had a roofing Man who left a Large expensive to Square.

I had to have my drains cleaned. The Serviceman use two of my buckets without my permission and left the stinking mess for me to Dean up. When my boiler had on annual checkup the Serviceman spilled Pooh of Oil on the floor and just left it he also left the Light on and the base ment door wide open when he departed.

How about Hann . From mass. Dew . I cannot believe that the majority of repair people Are a floppy absent minded and inconsiderate.

Font letters readers comment on baby left in car1 this is in reference to a recent letter titled baby left alone in car upsets i Loo am a Parent and a military policeman and if May use a line from the Teller at a reminder la lakes Only seconds to report an Cpl. Johnc. Ziegler Heidelberg i just read the Teller from the Wriler who found herself disturbed after finding a 2-year-old baby boy locked in a car unattended Al the Martin Luther King Village i Loo of course found his heart wrenching think ing not Only of the child s dire circumstance bul 10imagine the child s fear of being left alone. But this emotional reaction is in no Way enough. This was a Clear Case of child neglect or better said child what this child needed Al thai very moment was not just an aching heart Over his situation but Rattler a courageous one. This child needed a Strong and willing adult As do Al abused children to intervene and Lake action 10 Slop the abusive person or persons right in their tracks. The writer could have pvn a License number and make Model of the tar and reported this to the military police who in turn could have taken proper action. It s very easy to pity these poor children but this is of no help to the child. If responsible and caring adults Only continue to feel sorry when they witness such things rather than stepping in and reporting these incidents As they occur then these very Chil Dren that Are tearing Al your ii arts win a Cre than Likely grow up to be abusive and neglectful adults Iso. They May end up believing that this very treat men is not Only acceptable bul Normal. Sad and sorrowful tears aching hearts and anger Are useless to these very Young lives. You must be willing to speak up and help give them a belter Chance to grow up As warm and caring individuals who hopefully will also know what it Means 10 have a courageous heart. Cathy Gibson Augsburg. Germany. I can t believe you had the nerve to complain and criticize then urn a Uund and justify Why you did t do anything. You re just As guilty As he per son s who left him alone. So there was t any maps on the ipod 10 whom you could report. Have you Ever heard of the Tele phone and since it was so cold Why did l you hire a taxi and sit Iacre and watch he car until the i s or guardian came a few dollars is nothing compared to a child s life. Can you really believe that the cabdriver Waich cd Over the Little boy get real thai s the problem people Don l want to gel involved and then they feel guilty so they try to justify Why they did t do any thing Pam Adams for Sudberg Germany if you think you were furious at the person or persons resp Onsbie for leaving a child in � parked car then think How mad i was when i read your letter in the paper. If you were so concerned Why did l you do some thing about thai child you could have one into the Exchange and had someone Call the military police. You took the time to ask a cabdriver to watch Over the child. People who Don t want to get involved Are just As responsible As anyone else in a situation such is a a of try in concerned Vou should have done More than excuse yourself for not gelling involved. In situations such As this there is always a Way to do inc right thing if you really want to help you must get involved. Al would have taken As much time logo into he Exchange As it look to go and get the cabdriver. The moral to his Story is to gel involved. Patricia a Evans Dixie l.
