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. [b] 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? [/b] 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?

This happens when the parents exhibit such bad parental judgment that it is considered safer for the children not to be left in their care until they have had some mandated parenting classes.  They apparently have a complete lack of common sense, judgment and safety that the children are considered unsafe even in their presence.  Frankly, that's the way I would read this.  For any parent that would even consider this, let alone, actually put this in practice for two children under the age of 3, I agree with the judge that it is safer for the children to be in some other child care situation.  I would not want these children to be left alone with these parents until they had completed some significant parenting classes and I had reassurance from the instructor that they seemed to pay heed and actually understand their obligations.

[b]At that age, my kids would put any and everything into their mouth, could occasionally reach things in the car that they might put around their necks (they think it is fun to wrap things around their necks), or otherwise cause damage or harm to themselves in less time than it would take for me to hear on a phone and make it back to the car.  They're toddlers for crying out loud. [/b] If you aren't going to watch them yourself, hire someone to do it for you.  In another 2-3 years, you can do more free-roaming care, but for now, they have absolutely no judgment, experience, or sense of safety to leave them unattended.[/quote]
