[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The very act of having the police called and the mom charged proves the kids didn't meet the threshold of "12 or mature enough." Someone called because they were running around and were not under the supervision of an adult. She was wrong. [/quote]

That might be witch hunt standards.  But the reality is, most of the time leaving 8/9 year old kids at home alone for under an hour is not an egregious error.  Witch hunting on the other hand is pretty awful.

You think the guy who was concerned about an 8 and 9 year old running in the streets after a dog because mom was gone for an hour was witch hunting?? She used shitty judgment, her kids were not safe alone in the house, they were out in the street and a guy almost hit them/their dog and she was at a restaurant. That's BAD PARENTING. [/quote]

No.  I understand why the man called CPS.  I do not understand why the mother was arrested though.

If she had literally just gone down the street to pick up dinner and got delayed (crowds/order not ready/traffic) and thought that her kids were safe inside the house - that was reasonable.  The dogs getting out and running off was unexpected and accidental.  The kids running after their beloved pets is understandable.  Those kids could have ran out into the street after their dogs even if their mom was home at the time.  Stuff happens.  Accidents happen.

Thankfully, no one was hurt.  Perhaps the cops/CPS saw something that has not been reported.  But if this was just a matter of kids running after dogs that accidentally got out.....and arresting the mother for daring to be out picking up dinner at the time....that seems over the top to me.  These kids weren't toddlers or preschoolers.  [/quote]
