Babies should never, ever be left to their own devices. Not even for a second.

Why? Because they're babies, and their little brains and bodily functions aren't fully developed yet.

They need constant supervision, or else they'll get into all sorts of trouble, some of which could be life-threatening. They could roll over and get stuck.

They could pull something over on top of themselves and find it hard to breathe. They could put something toxic in their mouths.

The list goes on and on. So please, for the love of all that is good and pure, don't be like this Redditor who left her poor nephew by her door, unattended.

She's lucky the baby only ended up with a full diaper. And she's fortunate that her sister and family are only mad at her.

Things could have turned out worse. So it's no wonder why this person was roasted by the folks over at the "Am I The A**hole?" (AITA) subreddit.

According to a user named Top-Yogurtcloset-313, her sister decided to leave her nephew under her care. She was strongly against it and firmly said that she didn't want to watch over the baby.

But the sister didn't listen and left the baby anyway. Reddit did not only criticize the original poster for her inaction, but they also judged her sister.

Let's look at the entire story.

Being childfree can never justify what she did.

Her sister's irresponsible action.

Why leave the baby to an unwilling party anyway?

Only OP's dad is on her side. The rest of the family is mad at her.

The majority of Redditors agree that both of them are wrong.

They are disgusted by her inaction.

This user believes that the mom (OP's sister) doesn't deserve to have a child.

Does she hate her nephew?

Users pointed out what the worse things that could happen if children are left in a carrier without supervision.

Why risk a little one's life to prove a point?

A lot of users felt bad for the baby.

If someone is being a jerk, don't retaliate by being worse.

For some reason, everybody in the situation forgot their responsibility.

Some users agree the actions of both sides are beyond the worst.

Poor baby

Why should the first call go to the police?

She's not only childfree, she's heartless.

If she wanted to prove her point, she could've done it in a reasonable manner.

A user believes that what she did makes her a monster.

She's cruel indeed.

Everyone in the situation is a jerk, except for the baby.

She could've done something, but she didn't.

Anti-kid is the right word.

Both parties didn't handle the situation like a proper, responsible, and compassionate adult.

Calling the police could've solved the problem if she truly wants to prove a point.

The final verdict: both sides are wrong.

We're pretty sure they have other relatives who are more than willing to take care of the baby. Yet the mom pushed an unwilling person to do it.

And the original poster risked the baby's safety to prove her point. We truly hope this person learns to have at least a bit of compassion.
