Question
Hello, A certain person has a one-year-old son who is with a private babysitter, who usually takes care of his son every day until 16:00, but sometimes longer. On one of the weekdays, the babysitter's 12-year-old son calls this person and asks him to come and pick up the baby early because his mother is not feeling well. He requests to arrive by a certain time because he needs to go to Talmud Torah. The person arrives and rings the bell for about 15 minutes continuously and makes many calls to the babysitter and her husband, but no one answers. The person opens the door and sees that the baby's stroller is there, and all the doors in the house are closed and the children are sleeping. This person's wife knows the house and knows where the children's room is, where the 12-year-old child is sleeping. Can this person go to the children's room and wake up the 12-year-old child with whom he arranged to pick up the baby?
Answer
Hello
Why wake up the son?
