Thank you for your responses. I to am alarmed for these children. I fully believe that children need their sleep. Thats why it concerns me so much.

When I posted this I withheld the fact (I think without rereading) that 3 of the mothers are very young. Im talking teens hardly into 20 tops. I am not judging for I was a young mother but I can't help to imagine how much harder it is for the parent..... My children were and are cranky if they don't get their sleep. Cranky kids are obvioulsy harder to deal with. Are the young moms and dads capable of taking care of a baby who doesn't get enough rest? I again am not knocking young mothers please don't take it that way. But patients is a learned skill that we don't fully have developed till well into life.

I hope I am not turning this into a debate. I am just very concerend for my little ones and their families also. I will do my part to help the children sleep. I was just wondering if others also saw this alarming new trend.
