Seriously. That seems to be what's driving peoples assumption that these people are good parents. I mean theyre white and they live in Silver Spring and they have good jobs and they speak nicely on TV. So they never could possibly neglect their kids![/quote]

Actually the idea is:

1. The only "neglect" anybody has talked about is allowing the kids walk to/from parks in their neighborhood.
2. Allowing the kids walk to/from parks in their neighborhood is not neglect.[/quote]

I'm curious, what constitutes "in their neighborhood"? I mean, if I let my kids walk a mile from my house I wouldn't call that still my neighborhood. I live in Bethesda, does that mean all of Bethesda is my neighborhood? Or my entire ZIP Code?

Also, you really don't know that the only issue here is that they were walking home from the park. The police report implies more than that, the 911 caller implies more than that, and CPS has rightly kept them investigation report private. You simply don't know.[/quote]
