[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think preventing all contact with the children until the parents' hearing on the 18th is in the best interest of the children. That's more than two weeks away. Look, these people are idiots, and the "system" needs to step in to ensure that these children will be safe. But not allowing those children to see their parents for weeks is just not helpful to the kids and their longterm emotional development. [/quote]

I have to agree here.

I am a parent and disgusted by what happened.

Unless they can prove this is an ongoing thing with these parents, the kids should see their parents until the trial. [/quote]

Agree. The parents were selfish and idiots but I have a 25 month old and know that toddlers that age still experience separation anxiety. For the kid's sake, they need to let the parents contact. Even a parent with bad judgement is better than strangers. Poor kids I feel so upset imagining they don't get contact with the parents (who incidentally deserve to be publicly humiliated). [/quote]

You have no idea what type of parents they are.  Maybe this was common?  Maybe there is no separation anxiety and moving to foster care is a better place for them?   How many times have they done this before that they were just down the block having a coffee while they napped?  Or at lunch with a friend?    Were the kids in wet/dirty diapers in a cold car?

These parents made a really bad choice and got caught.  Thankfully their children were not harmed.
