[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what?  As stated several times in this thread, it is crazy that these parents are so arrogant that they think their community's standards as enforced by CPS and the police and the neighbor who called, simply don't apply to them.

I was a free range kid and honestly, it wasn't always peachy.  We played in construction sites, with rusty nails, occasionally did other nasty things kids do.

Has our society gone too far in mandating constant parental supervision?  Yes.  Do I get to unilaterally decide that the rules don't apply to me.  No, I don't.  If these parents were poor, the kids would have been in foster care weeks ago.

Also, I have a friend of a friend who lives in the neighborhood.  Walking to the park alone isn't the only possibly unsafe thing that these kids did alone.[/quote]

If you have knowledge of this family's activities that warrants involvement by the authorities, then you should report it. Otherwise you should stfu. Your little hints and allusions are totally inappropriate.[/quote]
