[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand why they drove... Unless the plan was always to leave them in the car...[/quote]

Here's what I think: it was cold, so they drove. Kids fell asleep in car, they decided, oh, why wake them? We use a monitor at home, let's just rig up our own monitor here via iphone and we can hear them and watch through window. It's fine. When they wake, we'll get them. The kids probably had socks or shoes on but kicked them off (happens all the time). As for hysterically crying, isn't all crying  hysterical? I bet they will hire a great lawyer and turn this into a personal choice/monitoring debate. The kids were FINE. Just saying,  no way in hell would I do this, but I bet this is how they "justified" it and what will happen when they tell their story. Remember, the dad did say they were monitoring them.

That's not my theory.  My theory is that either 
A) They had a sitter, who cancelled at the last minute
or 
B) Each parent thought the other had arranged for the sitter, and it wasn't until shortly before they were supposed to leave that they realized no one had.

Either way, they found themselves without a sitter at the last minute.   Kids were probably napping, so they put them in the car, expecting they could go in and out of the event quickly, before the kids even woke up.   Just in case, they decided to keep the open line on their phones to use like  a "baby monitor."

Of course, time flies when you're having fun, and before they knew it almost an hour had passed.    Usually the kids are awake by now, but we can't hear anything (probably too noisy in the restaurant.)   Maybe one of should just go check really quick...and that's when Dad went back to the car that was already surrounded by cops...[/quote]
