Children w/o Jackets during Winter

This is a vent. Why do I keep seeing children (including babies & toddlers) with their parents in this winter cold windy air without coats on, not even jackets! One could argue it’s a financial thing but often it’s not because the parents have on a coat/jacket. This is the same thing with babies being out in public without socks on?! It’s not summer time. Like if you as the parent have on socks and a coat why would you think your child does not need the same?! It’s obviously is cold enough for you. Others could argue they put it on the child but they didn’t want to wear it….ok, so who is the child and who is the parent?! It doesn’t have to be excessive to where it’s uncomfortable but it needs to make sense. If the baby takes off the sock, bundle them in a blanket. Like what is going on?! Then we complain about the sick children being sent to school or out in public…one of the prime reasons is this. Proper clothing!!

If anyone needs to buy their kid a jacket b/c of finances, I will be the one to help you. It’s really disheartening to see a shivering child beside a warm and content bumbled up parent.
