[quote=Anonymous]While I'd like to believe they agreed one parent would stay in the car and then switch off with the other one inside and then the one who said they'd stay got bored and came in anyway -- it's unlikely. There's no mention in the police report of them exiting the car separately. And with the phone thing -- she would know that she had to have an open line to his phone all of a sudden - bc she'd have to pick up his call, so it's not like a wife wouldn't ask "um -- why are you calling me from the car and what do you mean I can't hang up?!"

I don't blame one parent more than the other. Even if dad (or mom) was the moron who wanted to do this, is the mom (or dad) SO spineless that she (or he) couldn't say -- not a good idea sweetie, how about you go and I'll stay in the car or better yet take the kids home, have fun. If either one can't stand up to a spouse on a basic issue of safety/childcare and there's some kind of DV or abuse situation at home, better the kids be removed even though I'm sure they're freaking out in foster care.

And to the PP who says "I can tell by looking at the 1 FB pic that she loves her kids" -- um, how exactly!? Bc she has them in her lap with a smile? Bc there's a happy cupcake in front of them? People do all kinds of things for photo opps, you don't know the real story of what's going on in that house.

Obv they didn't expect to get caught, but if they were going to do this whole "we're watching them from the restaurant" thing, they should have -- you know -- watched them. One of them should have come outside every 15-20 min and gotten in the car with them. That may have made the state dept atty curious about what was going on, but he may have backed off if he had looked at the car a few times and seen it empty and then looked a few times and seen an adult in there. Me thinks Jennie was doing just fine inside, but all of a sudden -- the phone which I'm sure was on the lowest volume possible in her purse so that no one could hear her kid's shrieking -- heard the phone go from shrieking to no noise (as kids were removed) and male voices as her loving DH was telling the cops he's the father and is watching them, so she decided to leave the party to see what was going on.

I imagine they were arrested in the street though I don't know why people say they were arrested in Ris and the rest of the party had to leave. After all this they would go back inside -- once their kids are sitting in a squad car and being looked at by EMTs!?[/quote]
