Because the parents are known to the system and refuse to comply with a safety plan for the kids.  They already had an agreement and refused to follow it. The parents set this up to sue and win.   It is not about the kids or their needs and all about the parents.  [b]They are failing to provide proper supervision to their kids.[/b]  That is neglect. It does not matter where.  If the kids were playing hard and walking a mile they should have water on them.  [/quote]

OMG, you are ridiculous.  Do you completely and utterly fail to understand that reasonable people can disagree about what constitutes proper supervision, and plenty of us here on DCUM think it is perfectly adequate to have an older sibling watch a younger sibling (10 and 6) at a familiar park within a mile from their home?  And that plenty of reasonable, responsible parents think it is not only NOT neglect, but proactively POSITIVE to allow siblings to walk home together from said park?

Also, how do you know the kids were "playing hard"?  They can certainly exist on a playground for two hours without water.  Holy lord.  We didn't even have plastic water bottles in the 1970's and somehow we survived while playing hard without hydrating every 15 minutes.

These kids were NOT neglected simply because they are allowed to walk home alone.  The only real danger they have encountered on their adventures is essentially being kidnapped by the police and CPS.[/quote]
