[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are awful. I know plenty of white UMC white families who think nothing of sending their four year old over to play on a playground while they watch their older kids play a soccer game - and you can bet the reaction would be much different if one of those little girls disappeared. And those are families where helicoptering is much more socialized than in some other cultures (as a PP said, 30 years ago, sending kids off to play was the norm). The racism and judgement on here is amazing.[/quote]

Usually with a soccer game at least the younger siblings are going to a playground to pay with the siblings of the other players.  There are most often other parents standing there and watching their own kids play.

I, personally, would never send my preschooler/kinder kid over to a playground for the other parents to watch....but I know that some parents do.  Those parents do suck and, yes, they are judged.

But even the clueless parents wouldn't sit in a car while they sent their THREE and FIVE year old off to play on the swings with no other familiar faces around to watch over them.  That is just beyond careless.  And if an educated 30 something person did this there I would tend to judge them way more harshly.

I think this 19 year old kid was simply overwhelmed and still a kid herself.  That actually makes me feel some sympathy for her.[/quote]
