People can argue all day about whether or not the state regulations apply to these kids being alone at the park. However, [b]it is abundantly clear that this family was told not to do it again[/b], and they did. And knowing how the system works, I think it was piss ass funky ass judgement by this family to do it again and chance losing their kids. Maybe they are the type who are so smart, they're stupid(as grandma used to say). I could thing of 100 ways to fight this without chancing losing my kids.
I could have staged a sit in at CPS and the State House, but i bet they would not have found my kids alone at that playground, makes me lose all sorts of credibility, weakens my argument and makes me look more like a grandstanding malcontent than someone with a legitimate and solid concern.

Based on what? What did CPS tell the parents, and how do you know this?

Also, you bring up two separate arguments:

1. Did the parents show poor judgment in doing this?
2. Is it child neglect, according to state laws and regulations, to let your children walk home from the park?

I'm not very interested in question #1. I could disapprove of them all day long, and it wouldn't make any difference in my life or theirs. It's question #2 that matters, in my opinion.[/quote]
They signed an agreement with CPS not to do it -- sheesh[/quote]
