[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]

The neighbor didn't look out for the kids. The neighbor called the police.[/quote]
