[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would the police even pick up the Kids? I'd laugh at the person who called. You'd think they have more important issues to deal with.[/quote]

Except that sometimes you see kids alone that truly are being NEGLECTED. Hey, I send my kid down the street to the playground without adult supervision, however if I was approached by the police and/or CPS and they had an issue with it, I WOULD STOP. Would I agree, not necessarily, however that is my issue to fight, not my kids who would be the ones caught in the middle. I can move, I can lobby to change the laws and/or ordinances. I can write to my council person, governor, the President. However, I am not going to take the chance that my kids would be put in the system because I have a philosophical difference  with the authorities. That is just stupid,  and for that reason alone I think the parents are demonstrating PISS POOR judgement.
Not only that, but I would rather a neighbor was looking out, noticing if kids could possibly be in danger, than for something happen to a kid and everyone stood around MYOB. [/quote]

plus a million.  The people blaming CPS here are the same ones who would blame them if the blew off the neghbor's call and then the kids got kidnapped.  Why does everyone assume these people are good parents?  Because they're wealthy and white?[/quote]
