[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She just went down the street to grab food? Thats terrible she got locked up. I was home alone at that age. [/quote]

It wasn't just down the street. She was about 5 miles away. They weren't in their own home. Those differences really matter.[/quote]

This. Were they home and this was a neighbor, none of this probably would have happened. But in this case, the dogs got out for whatever reason, and the kids didn't know what to do so they chased them into traffic. W[/quote]

The article says only the dogs were in front of a car. Not the kids. My dog  is terrible and runs into the street all the time without being chased. 
People are really extrapolating here.

It says the driver encountered the kids after the dogs ran out. Surely in a vacation home the dogs aren't just allowed to roam freely unfenced in the yard, so the kids must have let them out. Whether they ran out in the road after them or opened the door to the stranger who brought them back doesn't really matter. There is no scenario in which mom is away, dogs are running wild outside, and kids are dealing with strangers in order to handle the dogs that is OK.[/quote]

Yeah  There is the scenario in which my 9 year old is problem solving and perfectly capable of checking the street for the dogs, who could easy have gotten out through no real fault of the kids. This is just not a big deal. [/quote]

Okay, explain the scenario in which the dogs open the door and escape into traffic on their own.

But you're right. Mom should have been charged with animal endangerment instead. [/quote]

Why does anyone assume that the dog was able to get out of the house.  Perhaps he was being walked and slipped his harness.  Any number of things could have happened, including escaping a fenced yard because the gate wasn't securely latched.  But go ahead and make the leap to charging the parent with animal endangerment without knowing any ... you know ... actual facts because it somehow feels good.  [/quote]
