[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a lot of gray area in these types of scenarios. But: Toddler is the absolute worst age to be unsupervised in an unfamiliar and non-childproofed location for more than a few minutes. And: the restaurant was totally off the premises. Gone for a long time. And both parents drinking. Just ridiculous. It’s a bunch of bad factors combined. I’m sure they won’t get their child taken away permanently but CPS intervention is totally warranted IMO. And unfortunately these terribly irresponsible scenarios encourage more “zero tolerance” policies that don’t allow for parental common sense or discretion. Ruining it for everyone, and causing parents to be hyper protective & more frazzled than need be. (For example, stories about parents getting into trouble for letting an 8+ year old play at the park unsupervised or walk alone to the store down the street etc). [/quote]
