I was awake as early as 3am and being disturbs and distracted again. This is not my first time being in this state. Awake by 3am not because I was attending my new born baby but because of my ***two pamangkin *** being locked up inside their house. Both we're crying so hard and keep on making some noises hoping there'll be someone to open the door for them (they felt so scared being left alone and padlock).

The first time I experience this I got so nervous and even bring me to tears and headaches also (that was a week after delivering my third baby). Both my niece screaming and crying inside their house. I felt so helpless right then because the key of their house is under of their parents hand. I feel pity to the both and trying to calm them down. Its really hard comforting a 3yr old and 7yr old niece of mine when both are inside the house and you we're outside like you can't even give a hug for comfort.

After the first incident happened many of us advice the parents not to do it again (their reason for doing so is that the father is accompanying his wife going to work leaving their two kids padlock and as to the mothers reason it will just only take five minutes that's why they do padlock the kids) kawawa yong mga bata iyak ng iyak, plus this will bring so much noise leaving our neighbors disturbs and awake as early as 3am and also its quite scary for the both child being left locked inside the house and it's too risky what if something happens?? Like earthquake or fire_ who's gonna save them? Does anyone know they were there??

Then the parents accepted the advice and says it won't happen again. But sadly the incident happens repeatedly not just once but as to my memory me waking that early with those screaming and crying, what happen early this day was my fourth time experience.
It saddens me and so was with my father, it brings him so much tears what's his two grandchildren experience (that was his first time witnessing that incident coz he lives far from us and we avoid telling him, and also as much as possible to hide things and happenings that can mAke my father worries much for it's not safe for his health). Inpite being shaken and crying over what his two grandchildren experience my father manage to repair their door (replacing a doorknob instead of having just padlock outside) so that my 7yr old niece can manage to open the door.
My father also told the parents not to do it again for the child and neighbors sake. I just hope this time the parents will listen to my father for good, for it will bring us to worry and pity for the kids they might get some trauma. And for our neighbors also who got their sleep disturbs during this time/incident (considering almost all of the houses near us has babies too to attend too).
This sounds nuts! So they leave two children in the house alone while they go to work? 😞 why can't they ask someone like you to be around while they get mom to work? Strange.
That's what we tell them many times but then they refuse to do so thier reason what is 5 to 10 minutes being away won't cause too much (very short period of time being padlock). They don't know whats really happens when their away thats why they don't see this a problem but we're feeling relief now my father finds way to make things better and easy for the kids.
