[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the most vocal "free range" parent advocates has written a piece decrying the fact that the parents didn't get their kids back immediately. She defends them on the basis of the IPhone (which was "giving the kids an open connection to" the parents!) and argues that the police should have tried "teaching them that this wasn't a good idea and telling them not to do it again" instead of arresting them." Because "seizing their children" is "acting as if they were deliberately cruel."

Unbelievable.

I just the read the article and she's not defending the parents for doing it she just thinks putting the kids with strangers and no contact with their parents for two weeks and then possibly throwing the parents in jail for 10 years is overkill.  I agree with her. I have no idea what these parents were thinking but how is it better to put two more kids in the foster care system?  Also, how does it help the kids to be suddenly yanked away from their parents with absolutely no contact until the next court date? Wouldn't supervised mandated parent education and monitoring be better?
