How do the cops/CPS know that? Oh... they do an investigation.

CPS/cops don't want to bothered with the elitist MoCo parents... they are required to deal with elitist MoCo parents. They just want citizens to stop calling them about this family. I wish the kids were a little more savy and would stop drawing attention to themselves.[/quote]

If they don't want to bother themselves with this family, how come they keep bothering themselves with this family?[/quote]

Because people keep calling about this family and if they fail to thoroughly investigate they are responsible if something happens.  Duh.  They deal with neglected and abused children all day long.  Even rich white educated people abuse and neglect Children.  I know, that blows your little mind. [/quote]

But they already investigated in January -- presumably thoroughly. Now they have to do another thorough investigation? [/quote]

What to Do you think?  Family is investigated once, result is "unsubstantiated neglect". Which essentially means "some evidence of neglect but it's not clear".  Then another report happens.  Do you think they're obligated to investigate?  Of course they are.  [/quote]

Exactly. What people are ignoring is that [b]multiple, different bystanders[/b] have seen these children and had cause for concern, and called 911. I really don't think the police are out looking for them just to make a point.  Whether or not this is neglect, the police and CPS had an obligation to investigate the situation - especially once they realized there was already an open file on the family. [/quote]

Multiple different bystanders = 2 bystanders.  So the word of 2 people means the family is neglectful?  The word of 1 stranger in January was not enough to show the family was neglectful then.  How should the word another stranger make the family neglectful now?[/quote]

No one is saying the word of two bystanders means the family is neglectful. What we are saying is that the word of two bystanders merits an investigation.[/quote]
