[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am fascinated by this case too and I agree with pp who said it's because they are "like me." Same as the maryland free range parents.  I have similar education and would assume I had similar values. Yet here they are making choices I would not make. Why? [/quote]

I am also fascinated by the case because these seem like people I could know, so I want to understand what the H they were thinking.

But PLEASE do not compare this to the parents who let their 6 and 10 year old walk to the park. Maybe that isn't something you would do but it's well within the range of defensible parenting decisions. Leaving screaming toddlers locked in a car in freezing cold temperature is NOT.[/quote]

ITA, not what I meant, sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't trying to say they were equivalent decisions. I have a lot of sympathy for the free range thing, personally. I just meant that they are parents in the news recently for their parenting decisions who are demographically/educationally similar to me.

it's the actions of the police and CPS that further distinguish them actually. In that case no charges are being pressed and the CPS investigative process is playing out normally with the kids at home/school: indicating that CPS does not think those kids are in huge danger.

My sister works for CPS in another state and we've talked about the free range case, she's who pointed out to me that while it feels invasive to the parents, they are not really under much suspicion. The yuppies in question here--very different story. looking forward to asking her about them :)[/quote]
