Probably a fortunate thing that the citizen who noticed these children was concerned enough to alert the authorities....rather than some sick assed pervert,cause that shit does actually happen too.
So lets not lose sight of that,I'm going to assume that all of us can agree that our biggest treasures are tied up in these little people....so some measure of vigilance is usually attached [8|]
mike im kinda in disagreement with your premise here. its a sort of false choice, or at best (or is it worst?) it assumes a reality where kids are so at risk for bad things happening to them that the state is somehow justified in scooping them up, haranguing the parents, and that a "concerned citizen" is applauded for blowing the whistle and our only two choices are between a molester getting them, or the police needing to first.
as it stands now the parents cannot raise their kids in the manner of their choosing, a manner in which practically all of us grew up on, without their kids being taken from them.
And I'm not sure about the intelligence of parents who would allow a ten year old to walk a six year old unaccompanied from a local park.
Shit happens,and it happens in the blink of an eye,folks actually do lose their children in this country,or hadn't you heard ?
My son hated the fact that I wouldn't allow him,as a small boy,to walk to the mens room alone in a public restaurant.Tough shit,it just was never going to happen....I can't imagine telling him to walk home from the park alone....certainly can't imagine repeating the same mistake twice.
Seems to me these parents were trying to make a point or prove something (perhaps flaunting the law in order to fight it) and were using their own kids to make this point.
As far as I'm concerned I've heard enough to think these two are idiots and probably need some adult supervision in how they raise their kids.
