Good parents don't keep little kids up that late. Your teenagers are supposed to be home in bed by 10pm.
From the reaction to my post, there are a bunch of bad parents on this thread and no one would make a good detective.
“Your teenagers are supposed to be home in bed by 10pm.”
Are you kidding?

No.
?It just occurred to me that the man was up to no good and he was using his family as a cover.
And it occurred to me that you watch WAY to much poorly plotted TV but please continue.

Oh yawn. My parents were the best and I often was up until midnight even younger. They were pastors and missionaries. Church often got out after 11. I just curled up under the pews and had a nap.

Or maybe you are a melodramatic sort of person who has an overactive imagination.
What is wrong with you? I can’t even begin to make my way through that muddle.
I agree with you. This is NOT the old California, where it was relatively safe after dark. The people there, especially with little kids, need to either adjust to their new reality, or move.
Seriously? Every once in awhile family activities keep kids out late. Even good parents make exceptions to bed time once in awhile. It could have been a special night-a rare treat out.
On summer we had surprise “jammy rides” with our kids. We’d go through the bedtime routine and after they’d been tucked in bed for a bit, we’d call out “jammy ride!” The kids would get out of bed and hop in the car to drive through for ice cream or some other fun adventure in PJs.
It kept them up late, but they loved it. It’s been several years since we did that,we should do it this summer with our younger kids.

OMG - I think you’re right!! The guy was having an affair with a nurse at the hospital. So he took his child out late to a place KNOWN to have crazy bums all over. Figured the child would be fussy, disturb one of the bums trying to sleep in the doorway, and the bum would try to stab the child. Instead, the man was waiting for it and stepped in front of the blade, so that he would need to go to the hospital. And smart enough to bring his wife along as a witness.
Now at the hospital, with his lovely mistress (the nurse), the doctors were able to stitch him up. Suspiciously, the following day his monitors all alarm - with his special nurse on duty. The doctor’s check for a pulse and find none. The nurse wheel’s him down to the morgue.
But at the back entrance she tears away the fake plastic skin around the “deceased’s” neck that concealed his pulse, and she takes him to a secret location where she can take care of him as he mends. (Probably found a bum that looked like her lover and put the bum on the gurney Once folks are in a hospital gown and pale blue they all look about the same).
Interestingly, the man had left a million-dollar life insurance policy as a donation to the “Ventura County Nurses Aid Foundation.” He was the FIRST donor to this charity.
