[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid. I really doubt anyone seriously believes that it is in this child’s best interest to have his/her parents arrested and go into foster care. [/quote] I've represented parents in these cases before, and that's a very unlikely outcome on a first offense with no injury. In Montgomery County, my clients got diversion for first offenses. I do think arresting them is appropriate, because it builds a record that this has happened before. If there's a pattern of leaving a kid in situations like this that should be treated differently, possibly by foster care.[/quote] They could have warned the parents and made a report through CPS to create a record of the event. There was no reason to even wake the child up, let alone send them off with a relative. [/quote]
