It's a sign of the times that we live in. What should this guy have done? If the kids look like they were perhaps lost, should the man have walked up to them and ask them if they were heading home? Could he himself had been mistook for a "bad guy"? We live in such a litigious society that I can almost see why hewould want to have 911 on the phone with him. however, it would seem pretty easy for the police officer to say, "hey kids how are you today? Where are you headed? Are you headed home? Do you know how to get there? And then drive next to them as they walk home. That's pretty simple, right? Why they felt the need to get child protective services involved is beyond me. I used to walk at least four blocks away from my house every day to my friends house and play at an age as early as six years old.
