I work in the school opposite my house.
In common with most schools, the parking situation is chaotic and often dangerous. Concerns have been raised again this week and we (the staff) were having a conversation about what can be done. As part of this I chipped in about a parent who regularly parks across my or my neighbour's drive to collect from the Infants (no prob for me, as I'm not going anywhere at 3pm, big problem for my neighbour as she has children at another school).
Anyway, I was kind of sympathising with this parent, as she has a younger child she leaves in the car, so naturally wants to park as close to the gate as possible. HT was horrified and told me it was my duty to report this to social services, as such a young child should never be left in a car, even if only for a few minutes.
So, WWYD? I genuinely don't know now if I should report, or if this is an over-reaction, due to a foul mood caused by parents and local residents continually complaining to the head about the (admittedly atrocious) parking.

HT says I should report this situation, it had honestly never occured to me...
