Think of the children! (Bad Parenting in the Sims 3)
zsangel:
I found this rather worrying last night. I sent my adult sim off to town whilst the kids were in school. She stopped by the bookstore, then took a fishing lesson, and finally stopped at the Bistro for a bite to eat. While she was there a mother sim and her toddler came by. At first the mother started teaching the kid to walk while other customers were milling about. After a bit she stopped teaching the kid and started chatting up some guy. I went to check on my kids, and left mom reading at the Bistro after her meal. I came back a few sim hours later to check on mom. She was still contentedly reading, and everyone else had wandered off, including the other sim mom leaving behind her toddler.
Now I've only seen this that one time so far, but it's got me wondering. How many sims do this, and if these poor children some how magically know how find their way home. Shouldn't Social Services be all over these irresponsible sims for abandoning their toddlers? You know they would be if heaven forbid I left my toddlers at home with out a teen sibling, or a babysitter!

I noticed this as well. I sent a sim to the beach and there was a toddler left there for hours and hours. It was still there by 4am. I don't think they're reached by Social Services though....

I've seen this too, and I think when the toddlers motives get too low they are magically transported to their house.
I actually tried to see what would happen if I stole a toddler from a house. I think it was the grandmother, and she picked the toddler up and went to her own house. I had her feed it and play with it and after a while the toddler just disappeared from the lot. No harm done, it was happily at his house. Looks like they are immune to neglect!

Sims are terrible parents, bringing their babies out in public like that, yes. Don't they know that this isn't appropriate? Someone could SEE them there! The list of potential witnesses quickly balloons out of control, and it rapidly becomes infeasible to kill them all.

Indeed. Post birth abortions FTW.
