They used to make movies about kids doing stuff wandering away from home. Dennis the Menace, etc. Those movies were about adventure and fun. No one got arrested. Nowadays Mr. & Mrs. Mitchell would go to jail and Dennis would be taken from them. Sad state of affairs with the nanny state clamp-down on the rights parents used to have.
This is way way different than that. These kids were told they were not wanted. When cops searched the parents home found meth making materials. I do hope Grandma loves them more than their worthless parents. These poor kids, at least they knew Grandma loved them.
