OK so I won't say it wasn't poor judgement to allow it, but I will for certain say that calling in child protective services is utter nonsense.
Police: You know you shouldn't do that, right?
Parent: Yes officer. We won't let it happen again.
Police: Alright we don't need to take this any further.
Parent: Thank you, officer.
And that's how it should be handled.
It would not surprise me in the least though if they took the child away forever the way we're all insane for "zero tolerance" in this weird place. Oops, I mean we're number one! Woot!
