“Here me”
Everything in that text conversation says none of them understand basic grammar and spelling.
Grammar might not be on their mind while someone is hunting for them in their home
But clear communication should be. Here is fine tho
“Tho”
And did you have an issue understanding my meaning?
You had a good run mummy wants her white claw wednesdays back
FYI: Text to 911 is a thing in many places.

I’m baby
Imagine responding like that to any Lemmy post:
*Proton endorses Trump
*K
*Gaza ceasefire
*I’m baby
This seems to be the actual reporting: https://abc7.com/montclair-teen-saves-niece-home-invasion-quick-thinking-home-invasion/1781013/
The intruder bolder, and moments later, police arrived.
What?
It’s a typo. The intruder was a *boulder.
A boulder the size of a small boulder.
Bouldy would NEVER, you take that back
I’m baby
Succulent meal
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PEBBLE!
This is democracy manifest!
Darmok and Jalad.
Go to whitecastle
Leeerroooyyyyyy Jenkins!
Bet her world was rocked.
Makes you realize how much we all take for granite.
Supposed to be “bolted”
Probably meant to say “bolted”
TL:DR her mom called the police and a neighbor and the neighbor loudly arrived spooking the intruder
Zoyee

Comments are funny and this girl was so smart and fast it’s incredible. But I have a question because I’m not American and I see this all the time: why do they make/let 14year olds babysit toddlers and babies. I understand that it’s cheaper or free if it’s a family member. But there are many emergencies (more common than this one) that I don’t think a teen is matured or prepared for, seems crazy to me to leave a child in the care of another child
I suspect it’s legal because it was a prevalent practice before laws were made, and nobody wanted to change that so they just made sure the law allowed for what they were already doing. For example, Kansas was part of a “territory” before it was a state, so only the USA as a whole had authority, and I doubt there were many laws about the subject we’re discussing, so there was probably literally no local law enforcement in most of Kansas at some point. Additionally, in the USA people settled / farm(ed) by having one family live far away from everyone else (as opposed to in Europe where it was supposedly more common to have a central place where a lot of people lived and then they would walk to their sector of farmland that surrounds the town). This means that people with 8 kids probably assigned any 14 or 16 or 12 year olds to watch the younger kids, while the adults and older children were out farming or preparing food (which took a lot more time in the past), since there was no other adult that was physically close by (and any that were would probably have to attend to their own farm/business rather than help with raising someone else’s kids).
Because emergencies are so rare. Many adults are quite unprepared for a lot of them as well.
It’s different if you were to leave like a 1-2 year old in the care of someone but it’s generally okay to leave a 5-10 year old in the care of a 14-15 year old. They mostly just need to feed them and make sure they go to bed.
Plus it gives the teens responsibility and some extra money to spend and it helps them get prepared for the future. Usually if it’s a super young one the teens tend to have first and courses suitable for young children as well or actual baby sitting certifications from a course of some sort.
“I’m baby”
She’s certainly no parent.
Is she trying to say “I am, baby”? Do people abbreviate like that?
When there’s an intruder in their home with their child, yeah
I was thinking “I’m busy”?
I think the “I’m baby” is the result of using voice to text while she’s in the car on the way home. I don’t think she’s crafting messages in a way usual of anyone. She is spending the minimum amount of time on the phone to let her daughter know she has been heard, then focusing the rest of her energy on getting back there asap.
Yeah I know. She’s probably freaking out if her mind and just trying to focus on getting home to her daughter.
I’ve
I’ve2
Autocorrect does.
Why should not I?
K
Mom too busy edging to reply properly
Gooning takes priority, no matter what
To the top with this one
K
I’m baby
Mom cares about her kid’s safety but that K was just her taking a step back and wondering if it’s worth it when she still can’t get ‘hear’ right

The girl is probably absolutetly shitting herself and is full of adrenaline, I think we can forgive that typo lol.
“K”
“I’m baby”?
Did she mean “I’m busy”?
If so this is messed up.
I thought maybe it’s “I am, baby”
yeah, auto correct too “i m baby” and made it I’m baby
Ahh… That clears it up.
Hope so. That would be far better.
“I’m baby” yup I feel that.
Who is bebby?
The mom
K
I was thinking why she didn’t just call the police herself but apparently it was so the intruder wouldn’t hear her
*here
I’m not sure which part you’d want me to change lol
E: It’s a joke about the spelling on the texts, isn’t it
Y’all focused on the wrong thing. How the fuck you pronounce the nieces name?
Zoyee?
I’m listening.

Mom is texting while driving and freaking out, that’s why her texts are like that
I’m baby
Probably meant “I am, baby” as in on her way home.
I just thought it was an autocorrect from “I’m busy” tbh. Hoping you’re right
This is the generous interpretation and the one I’m picking. Seems like a stressful situation for all, so a lot can be forgiven.
I can even understand “k” as response. What can mum do except give the kid, and mum, space to solve the problem? “I understand, I’m calling the police now” or just call the police. One saves time, one wastes it.
I could even understand it being a “oh shit, oh shit, oh shit” response. Executive function is gone, here’s a “k” while I melt.
Lots of room here before jumping to mum being the worst person in the world.
He is inside mom
The burglar is a pedo
Is this one of those subs where pedo rape jokes are funny or one of the ones where pedo rape jokes are discouraged?
Dont know. But as jokes go it’s as tired and bad as blackface and “gay best friend” in RomComs
I feel like you’re asking that because you have an absolute zinger ready to go but you’re not sure how it’ll be received.
I think the kind of people into those kind of jokes don’t ask first
No, he’s inside mom. Sounds like the kids are safe from this milfhunter.
Yes, That was the joke
Because the mom said “I’m baby”
