@AMC14 was providing a hypothetical story. But your points are valid.

Absolutely it was hypothetical, it is not something I would personally do however I don't doubt it happens.
Maybe she hasn't got family or friends I really don't know.. Every situation os different isn't it.
Some women just don't have the support and perhaps don't know where to look for it so walking away for 10mins is their saving grace.
Im lucky enough to have an awesome DF who I can say to "you know what I need a break I'm going out for an hour" and off I go. Some people don't have that.

Because some houses are small and she may have needed to not hear the crying for a bit? And I put my son in his bed and walk to the curb often when my bin is out on bin days or if DH forgotten to take it in. And I hang my washing out - my clothesline is further away from my sons room than the curb... just a bit of perspective. When you've got a baby who cries all day and most of the night, you can have the most amazing supportive people around you and still feel at breaking point every now and again. I personally used to pop my DS3 in his cot and go have a shower. I knew he was safe and it drowned out the crying and gave me a chance to regroup.

I still don't see that as a valid reason for the locked door?
Completely understand parents needing a break, or a time out.
I worked as a nanny, and my last job was 12+ hours a day, 5 days a week. Before that, it was 15 hours a day, 7 days a week.
There were times when I considered stepping outside too. And there were days when I did. But, never, would I lock the door or leave the property.

I am not sure about the locked door to be honest, but I also dont see it as such a huge issue so long as she had keys on her? But im just sayijg thay that particular scenario doesnt set off alarm bells for me. I'd rather a mother step out front for a moment and take a breather than not have that chance to regroup and potentially harm their baby because they cannot cope.

Calm down there is no need to get defensive and attacking. I will admit I misread it as she walked out to the front of her house, which I saw no issue with at all. Now that makes a little more sense in the locking the door part. so no I wouldnt walk down the road. But out to the curb? Yup totally would.
