[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think these parents, and their self-righteous melodramatic facebook page, are pathetic.

They are using their children as pawns.  No child should have to spend a day in custody because their parents are trying to make a statement.

No public resources should be spend dealing w/ this ridiculousness when there are kids genuinely in danger.  (And I'm totally on CPS and the Police's side in this - they are legally bound to respond - they cannot leave children alone if they are made aware.)

These parents are harming their children.  I place all the blame on them.[/quote]

It seems as if they're enjoying all the attention (negative and otherwise) and seeking it, to their children's detriment. I really can't imagine anyone thinking that a 6 year old is just fine in a big city, even with a ten year old sibling. [/quote]

Here's an example of one of those dangerous big-city places the children were walking to:

But I don't think people are as worried about the destination as they are about the journey.  Are there any major roads or busy intersections nearby?[/quote]

Yes, lots of major roads and intersections (although I don't know the exact route the kids would have had to take from their house). [/quote]
