[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many of the parents arguing this is ok actually go to the playgrounds on a regular basis and see what is going on.  When we go, very few parents are engaged or involved.  Its amazing how many kids are dropped off or checked out parents on their phones or tablets.  It is so frustrating when kids come up to you and expect you to help them and they are big and heavy and harass you till you do it.  Given the sue happy world we live in, no way are we doing that.  We will play with and engage the kids but it is so frustrating to basically be babysitting another child, many of whom are not social to our child or even near the same age.  Then, the demands for food and drink come.  If you are going to drop off your kid, be responsible - give them food, water, and a way to contact you in case of emergency.  It should not be other parents responsibility to care for your kids, especially in an emergency.  If you are at the playground, look up and come help your kid.

I'm surprised any attorney would waste their time, especially for free defending them.  These parents are setting up this fight even though they are clearly neglectful.  Its one thing to send two 11 year olds, but not a 6 and 11 year old without any way to contact the parents, no food, water, nothing.  That is neglect.  Neglect is failing to properly supervise your child and not adequately providing them with the things they need, such as food and water (especially kids with food allergies).[/quote]

This exact post shows up in General Parenting frequently.  They are usually referring to 2 year olds, though, not 6 and 10 year olds.[/quote]
