[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big difference between hovering and knowing where your kids are. These parents didn't know where their kids were. They were dropped at the park and were supposed to be home at a certain time. The kids were wandering around SS in the opposite direction from where they live (so they weren't walking home) when the guy called 911. They were within blocks of DC. And their parents never called the police even when the kids had been missing for hours. That's very different from hovering. Honestly, walking your kids to the park and sitting on a bench reading is different than hovering. Hovering would be climbing on the playground equipment. [/quote]

Do you know where they live? If not, why are you speculating? I do know where they live, and yes, they were walking towards home.

As for "within blocks of DC" -- how many blocks, exactly, is it from Fenton St and Easley St to the DC line? Also, so what? All of DTSS is "within blocks of DC".[/quote]

Not PP, I just listened to the 911 call.  The guy first saw them in Ellsworth Park and they were headed in the direction of their home.  Which is on Woodbury.  But they were wandering around, it seems, in the commercial area on Fenton.   And at one point were walking toward Georgia.  Which isn't on the way home.   Which may be fine, but maybe it wasn't.  Maybe they'd lost their way a bit.   [/quote]

I haven't listened to the call, but I agree it sounds like they had lost their way. Otherwise the parents would have known  what way the kids were walking  home  and would have known exactly where to "frantically search". Instead, it sounds like they had no clue the route their kids were taking. Very strange, IMO.[/quote]
