No they won't.  In another year the older kid will be old enough to babysit the younger.   You're hysterical. [/quote]

CPS has already said "sign this form or we'll take your children".

And if next week the children walk to the park again, and the neighbor calls the police again, then what?  Is it better for the children to get put into foster care than to stay with parents who let them walk to the park?[/quote]

I don't know. I don't know these parents.  And I'm not investigating them.  All we hear is their side of the story.  I do know they keep doing something they know puts their kids at the center of controversy, so that does make me wonder about their judgment. [/quote]

Here is what happened:

They let their children walk to a park. CPS investigated and said don't do that. Then they let their children walk home from a park. CPS investigated, said don't do that, and issued a finding of unsubstantiated neglect (sic). Then they let their children walk home from a park. The police took the children to CPS, who didn't release the children until 10:30 at night (on a school night), made the children very upset, and required the parents to sign a form saying that they would never for a minute leave the children unattended.

There is definitely questionable judgment here, but it's not the parents'.[/quote]

You have complete faith that the parents' story is the whole story.  Why is that?[/quote]
