[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think parents for the most part know their kids and what boundaries they need to set for them and when they can give them their space. I really don't think it does society or these kids any good to have busy bodies second-guessing the judgment of parents.

Clearly the kids were not in peril. The 911 operator who answered the call should have told the guy to call the local police department and to keep the line clear for real emergencies.

If given an opportunity to think this through I don't think anyone, including the guy who made the call, believes that these kids are safer or better off with CPS than with their parents.

Also, I wonder if the guy had known what was to come next - highly irresponsible actions on the part of the police and CPS to basically kidnap these kids - he would have actually made the call.

I hope the parents lawyer up and sue the county for unlawful imprisonment.

Oh, well, if parents know best then I guess child neglect and abuse just don't exist and we should never investigate.  It apparently wasn't clear to the caller, or the previous caller, or the police, or CPS that the kids were not in peril.  It's clear to you, I guess, though you haven't investigated, didn't see any of it, and don't know them.  I think I'm good with dismissing your POV then.
You also need to look up "kidnapping".  Since the police and CPS had the authority to detain the kids under law, there's no kidnapping.  Also, kidnappers don't usually call a couple hours later and return the kids.  Except I guess in your la la land.[/quote]

You're ridiculous and I don't give a shit if you dismiss my POV. [/quote]

Ah!  Well then.  Now I'm convinced.[/quote]
