A Tale of Two Parents
- Two Maryland parents being investigated because they allow their children to walk around their neighborhood unaccompanied were found to be responsible for unsubstantiated child neglect, the family said Monday.
Danielle and Sasha Meitiv say they will appeal the ruling.
[...] Maryland Child Protective Services began investigating the Meitivs on Dec. 20 after someone called police to report that their children — Rafi, 10, and Dvora, 6 — were walking home from a playground about a mile from their suburban Washington home. Another caller alerted police when the children were walking from a playground two blocks from home.
The horror! Children being allowed to walk about unaccompanied in suburban Washington. And the parents being actually investigated by the bureaucracy.
- Did a cop do a good deed or not? Well, that depends on who you ask. A South Philly mother wants answers after her two daughters ended up in the back of a police car.
Two little girls got an unexpected ride in the back of a 1st District Philadelphia police car this morning. They didn't do anything wrong. Now, one police officer's concern for the kids has their mother looking for answers.
They certainly don't look like criminals. So how did they end up in the back of a police car? That's what their mom wants to know.
"They are saying they did me a favor by taking them to school and not notifying me," said mother, Contessa Taylor.
The cop saw two kids walking to school, gives them a ride, and....the cop is blamed? But no investigation of that parent for some reason.
Hey Eric Holder, you want to get involved here? Discussions about how some parents are hassled for letting their kids walk to the park and another lets them walk to a bus stop and then to school after missing the bus?

So let mom complain, this should not go anywhere.
OMG! When I was that age I had to walk 11 whole blocks to get home from school in time to watch Garfield Goose and the Three Stooges.
Allowing young children to walk unaccompanied in suburban Washington DC is child endangerment and the parents should get some time in jail and probably loose custody of their children. The local government always knows best.
These good Samaritan cops may have served the kids death warrant. Riding in a police car without being arrested, sure looks like the kids may be snitches. Not good.
SCC, just a note, that Maryland story it was actually the officer who brought the kids home who referred the parents to child services.
Will Holder be sending the FBI to investigate the parenting style of the attendees of the Bud Billiken parade? That would be interesting. Then we can have that conversation about race afterwards. The one he says America is too cowardly to have.
I have news for you, Holder. The only cowards are the ones that wouldn't want to address the obvious problems in their community. Guess who that would be.
Could race have had something to do with it? Call in Sharpton. How dare anyone not let their kids run around without proper supervision from the government agents if they're black. Now if they're white, well that's different.
This administration has set race relations back 100 years.
Wait a minute here. If they're white parents they get investigated but if they're black it should be left alone? Explain how that is OK.

BLACK LIVES MATTER! BLACK LIVES MATTER!

OK for some people...
Brothers Emanuel: What Did Rahm, Zeke And Ari's Mother Put In The Breakfast Cereal?
"When the brothers were 6, 2 and 4, they marched unsupervised around the neighborhood, across streets and beneath underpasses. In family arguments, they were encouraged to curse to make their point. They battled at home (“we shed blood almost every day,” the oldest would later write) and were spanked periodically by a mother whose angry outbursts would lead her to yell “I hate all of you equally.”

"Two Maryland parents...were found to be responsible for unsubstantiated child neglect"
WTF kind of charge is "unsubstantiated child neglect?"
Cops are the evil of the city today. Seems folks hate the police more than the gangbangers.
Hey, it's all good.
"A report of suspected child abuse or neglect is not an accusation. It is the link to services for families who would not voluntarily seek the help they may desperately need."

"Services." We need our budget appropriation next year. Gotta show some activity when you're building an empire.
WHAT. Oh wait. Is the officer white and the kids are black?
The nanny state. Let your parking meter expire or let your kids walk to school -- a hefty fine and possible criminal record. Commit 1st degree murder or deal drugs, walk free and become a millionaire when you sue the city for false arrest.
"Another caller alerted police when the children were walking from a playground two blocks from home."
Wrapped kind of tight around there, aren't they?
Something tells me I could snip a dozen or so catalytic converters on that block without anything happening...you know the drill.
I have actually been bothered twice on the street about carrying a perfectly ordinary cane to help get over the snow and ice, but if you talk s__t and strut with a golf club, no one will say anything.
Nation of little cowards, peeking out from behind their blinds. Look up "Kitty Genovese." Not one of America's prouder moments...
I got a better one. How about the drive by shooting in 025 Saturday night where the offenders had a BABY GIRL in the back seat!
"A South Philly mother wants answers after her two daughters ended up in the back of a police car."
Claim to want "constructive engagement between the police and the community," but when it happens they are sitting back filing their nails and idly demanding "notification" and stuff.
I bet the ofc. even blipped the siren and lights for the kids. >grin<
rafi and dvora meitiv amounted to something had they been raised up proper.
If a child missed the bus and no parent was watching them. The Cop should of taking the kids to the police station whether they had house keys or not. Then let DCFS do there job. Like he should of follow protocol. And for the kids in the park also take them to police station! If you can't supervise your kids, don't have them or if you do remember your duty as a parent and don't blame anyone when DCFS come to help those kids in need from dangerous situation. No Amber Alerts so far.
This just goes to prove the rampant racism that exists in our large cities.
Years ago my partner and I gave a ride home to a grandma carrying groceries on a very cold snowy Chicago night. She lived approximately 4 blocks away. A year or two later I'm at court when one of the Cook County Probation officers told me the story on how these two Chicago Police officers gave her mother a ride home. I turned her and told her who it was. She was very happy and we are now good friends.

The white couple are lesbians. Their argument is that they wanted their children to grow up the same way they did. They wanted their children to enjoy outdoor activities instead of violent video games.
Parenting is a concept, policing is a concept, put them together? Police have to parents to the unparented! Another reason to be careful even trying to do your job!
During Safe Passage last winter in 011 a fellow officer told me about picking up two very young children walking to school on an extremely cold day and dropping them off at school. The next day he encounters them again but this time they say momma said they couldn't get a ride from the police. I guess he's lucky he didn't catch a CR.
"WTF kind of charge is "unsubstantiated child neglect?"
If my interpretation is right, it means "you're guilty because we SAY you are, even though we don't have a lick of evidence to back it up."
The only glee I get out of the story is that if you drill down, you discover the parents being charged are card-carrying, dyed-in-the-wool leftists. They are now enjoying the utopian bliss imposed by the government they voted for.
Siblings walking alone in their own neighborhood (one of them 10 years old!) is not against the law. Kids walking to school is not against the law. A cop offering to help get two kids to school when they miss the school bus (for whatever reason) is not against the law.
People have gone completely insane.
I'll bet they are Democrats and looovvvve Obama.
Thank you!!! It's refreshing to hear some common sense on this.

Yes, heaven forbid that their children be denied solitary, unsocialized lives, violent video games and hours of atrophied muscles and brain cells. How abusive, to send those kids to the park!
What did Contessa's husband say about this? Chuckle. Chuckle.
Speaking of Chuckle, Chief Ramsey will handle this.
That woman is an ass*ole and probably is scared of an investigation, so, she is using the best defense is offense approach.
I was waiting for the 16/18 street bus at Cicero and a cop gave me a ride to church because he said he had not seen a bus in 2 hours or so. I told everyone at church what had happened because someone said they had seem me getting out of a police car. That was in North Lawndale and of course, it started a lot of problems for the cops. Hoodlums and thugs started to request rides as if the cops were running a cab service. Rahm should work to get these animals off the street, jobs are good but what good if you get robbed on the way to work, at work and after work?

The more you do for some people, the more they hate you for it.

...and the same babymama was probably out there last summer in a new T-shirt and matching ball cap, marching with the revs with their bullhorns, chanting some nonsense about the "neighborhood."
Something to do, and maybe you get a "happy meal" out of it. Doesn't even matter if you understand what's going on. Just demand...something.

I've read that melanin confers all sorts of wonderful abilities, one of which must be that of Teflon. Unfortunately, these Eastern European parents didn't possess an adequate supply.
I'm in 005.
All of the previous comments are true.
IMO, it doesn't make any difference what the start times are, there are only 24hrs in a day.
If you have any other daily responsibilities besides CPD, you're screwed.
I keep saying this to the p.o.'s. idiots are gonna learn the hard way. 10.5 hr days will make us miserable.
Their thinking is backwards, there is no reasoning.
Probably thinking she has a lawsuit.

1950, 3rd grade, took the North ave bus from Narragansett to Clark and back after school, 5 days a week, rain or snow.
Safe Passage back in the 50's? Didn't need it.
