Café employee left suddenly in charge of taking care of a stranger's toddler mid-shift, chasises the mom when she returns after 15 minutes: 'I'm not responsible for him'

There's a very specific type of panic that sets in when you realize that someone else's safety suddenly depends on you. I used to babysit a toddler – something I had been doing for months. At this point, I understood how to deal with his tantrums, how to make sense of his weird two-year-old vocabulary, and how to keep him entertained. One day, his mom found herself in an emergency situation, and I had to suddenly take care of her 5-month-old baby as well. At this point, I had zero experience with anyone under 2 years of age, and I couldn't even concentrate on the baby because the toddler demanded attention. Being responsible for the safety of another life is incredibly stressful – especially if you didn't agree to it or plan for it.

But hey – at least I had held that baby a handful of times before, knew his mother really well, and understood the urgency of the situation she was in at the time. However, when this café employee is handed a toddler in the middle of her shift by a complete stranger and simply told to watch him, she's not even given the opportunity to protest; the mom practically ran out the door mid-conversation. Yep, this totally sounds like a set-up for an episode of ABC's What Would You Do? And naturally, the internet has a lot of ideas as to how they'd react in this situation; scroll down to check it out!
