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]

They keep letting their white children walk unescorted, in a urban environment.   They could do this if the kids weren't white; or if they lived in a suburb.  But white kids aren't allowed to walk on city streets alone.[/quote]

I actually think it's the opposite.  If they weren't white, the media wouldn't be particularly interested, and CPS might well have kept the kids.

Fenton and Easley is not an "urban environment".  [/quote]

Well, it's not suburban. It is downtown SS. What is it, if not urban?[/quote]

There's a new trend for neighborhoods to label themselves "Downtown" or "Town Center", but if you're the Downtown part of a suburb, you're still part of a suburb.  Downtown Silver Spring, Downtown Bethesda, Reston Town Center, Rockville Town Center . . . none of these are urban areas.  They are part of the suburbs.  [/quote]
