Nope.  Wrong.  IF it were actually in a neighborhood, then the guy walking the dog would probably know the kids' family and/or at least some of their neighbors.  So they could check on them and make sure it was ok.  That's what would have happened in my neighborhood growing up.  My parents would have called the kids' parents if they thought the kids looked kind of lost or over their heads.  But if they didn't know the kids' parents, they would call the police.  No one in the world who ever met us would say they (or I) don't have social skills.[/quote]

But they didn't look kind of lost or over their heads. They were 3 blocks from home -- why would they?[/quote]

Clearly the caller thought they did.  And clearly the other caller in the earlier incident thought they did.  Or they wouldn't have called.  You really like to make assumptions about what they looked like based on something you, yourself, didn't observe?  I think I'll take the word of the guy who actually saw them, not to mention the police officer who actually saw them, over your speculation.[/quote]
