Children Left Alone
Sir. —The time is 9 45 on Sunday evening. Fifteen minutes ago I answered the telephone to hear a small girl’s voice tremuiouslv say. 'ls that you. granddad? I have just woken up and mummy and daddy are not in the house and I'm fright-
ened. ' I spoke to her saying I was not granddad but might be able to help. She bung up amid further sobs. This experience leaves me feeling agitated and helpless. I implore parents never to leave young children alone in a house, especially at night. I hope this child's parents soon returned to her rescue but both she and I will long remember her terror. —Yours, etc.. WRONG NUMBER. May 14, 1961.
