[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The guy who called said they were wandering around alone for 20 mins...so they weren't at the park. And they were meandering, not walking straight home. And they approached a strange man and asked to pet his dog...that's breaking the cardinal rule of not talking to strangers. These kids aren't equipped to be off on their own. This 911 call should be a wake up call for the parents. [/quote]

He said he followed them from the moment they left the park. Maybe they took the long route, or were walking slowly, or that's how long it normally takes them to walk home.

What he did was stalking, but since his intentions were pure, it's okay. [/quote]

So, its ok, parents purposely dropped off kids either during or before calling the post and an attorney to make sure this blows up, then dumps their kids off at a park, without even giving them water and says see you in a few hours (or money or cell phone or food).  So, man walking his dog gets concerned about two kids dirty (you can tell from playground dirt and not being clean) and follows them out of concern to make sure a parent doesn't show up and everything is ok before calling the police.  If anything, the man did the right thing.  I'm glad to know people like that are out there.  They probably told the kids not to come home for a few hours.  Kids got bored at the park and left.

Parents had no clue where the kids were or that they were not following their rule of going to the park and walking straight home.  That is neglect among many other things, including being selfish.  If you don't want to supervise your kids 24/7, then why would you even have them?
