[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is odd that people would criticize the 911 caller, who was just trying to look out for the kids, regardless of whether he overestimated or underestimated their ages and abilities.  It is really up to the police to determine whether anything inappropriate or neglectful was going on once they got there.  If a random citizen is in doubt, they should contact the authorities and let the authorities deal with it from there.[/quote]

I agree. There are many possibilities that could have been at play here. This gentleman called the people who knew more about handling such situations than he presumably did. Most of us are not social workers who have experience in working with children and families.

Yes. If only the people who know more about handling such situations had actually handled the situation properly.[/quote]

Which you somehow think you are more expert at judging than they are.[/quote]

If they think that kids walking home constitutes child neglect, then yes, I am more expert at judging than they are.[/quote]
How the fuck was he supposed to know where they were going? He saw kids without adults around, he was concerned, he called 911.
He was more concerned about not doing something if there was a possible bad situation, than some idiots on the internet thinking he was wrong and should mind their own business. [/quote]

Yep.  Exactly.  He's a good person. These people want everyone to just ignore each others' kids and MYOB.  That's how Relisha Rudd happens.[/quote]
