Oh the stories I could tell and have told my kids and grand-kids... These CPS people would have a stroke and fall over dead if they only knew.
Kid should have started screaming about being kidnapped. Teach the busybody a lesson.
I know this is the Peoples’ Republic of Austin we’re talking about, but this *is* still TX, right?
There are more than a few psychologists who are publicly decrying the shift towards total cocooning of children. Can’t happen soon enough.
And people like the “agents” in this story really need some wall-to-wall counseling.
This is why ‘shunning’ used to be employed to drive such people from the company of normal humans.
It’s time has come again. Because if it doesn’t, this problem will multiply by the day. In short, make life hell for people who pull this crap.
Investigator found the kids home alone unsupervised?
Its been quite a few years ago now...
I made a comment to a south american friend about “how does it feel to live in a free country”...
He laughed and almost spat. “You have no idea what a free country is”.
I guess she’d have a heart attack if she knew how far from home I used to travel. No cell phones back then.<<<
Me, too. When I was 10, we ranged far and wide in the area, riding our bikes and playing wherever we found something interesting. I realize times were different then, but all the kids in our group survived, somehow.
Most of the Moms were stay at home, and they all glanced out to see where we were headed. But when we went AWOL from the block, nobody sent out a posse or called the cops. We were usually down in the ditch looking for tadpoles or over at the last vestige of earlier times, a cornfield, where we could reenact endless scenarios.
My youngest grandsons don’t have anywhere near the freedom I had as a kid. It’s sad, and the government needs to butt out unless there is true neglect or abuse. Good Grief!
My children would not be allowed to be questioned by CPS busybodies.
...
I continued to be baffled.
...
I thanked her for her concern, quickly shut the door and tried to figure out what just happened.

Bull Cheese. While I want to sympthize with the mother, she KNEW exactly what was going on. No one could be that stupid.
While she felt she had the right to be left alone and leave her child unsupervised, she also knew that our 21st century culture does not allow that.
Ok, so the busybody:
Brought the kid home.
Called the police.
Possibly called CPS (it could have been the cops who called them)
There should be a public record of who it was. Police report or somesuch. It might have their name. Which should be published.
However, the kid did willingly go with a stranger. If the kid had been taught properly he would have run home as soon as the stranger approached him, hopefully screaming “Stranger Danger!”
Yet the same media who sees illegal alien children crossing the border alone calls their parents “brave” gotta love hypocrisy
1) Most of these CPS workers don’t have kids, and are 26 yr old females who think they know better than actual parents.
2) JOIN HERITAGE DEFENSE TODAY.
As far as acting in a childs best interest and welfare? Nope it doesn't happen. NUMBERS and Percentages rule the agency. A kid can be taken away for violating village rules and kept indefinitely unless parents buy into their propaganda. On the other end of the spectrum abused kids can be taken away and caseworkers will bend over backwards to get the abused kids back home so the reunification percentages are high thus in their eyes a success. If the kid is abused the next week it doesn't matter. The agenda starts all over again.
I'm a former kinship foster parent who was found in contempt of court for trying under oath to tell The Whole Truth. DCS knew the truth and still sided with the parents because DCS Failed to investigate properly and gather needed evidence needed for court. DCS should be allowed to run an animal shelter.
we moved to Hawaii in 1984.
While I was un packing all the boxes, my girls were skating in the driveway.
My neighbor came over immediately to tell me that the kids could not be left to play on the driveway, they had to skate in the garage, because they were girls, and bad things could happen.
I just said, “ they’re fine, it’s the driveway” and shut the door.
My husband has three girls from his first marriage. When they would go out on the ranch as teenagers they always carried a pistol with them. I’m sure the ninny from Austin would poop herself if she heard about this.
We could come back for lunch around noon...then out again we went. Had to be back by 5.
This started when I was 6 and my older sister was 7.
By the time we were teenagers, the entire neighborhood of kids would be up and out past midnight, every night of the summer.
It was cool enough to enjoy after the sun went down.
And, nobody rolled the windows of their cars up at night either.
It was not unusual to forget to lock the front door...but by then we were starting to think of such things.
No to mention I was always packing. Early on a pellet gun then after I was about 11 a .22 or 20 gauge.
Had ENOUGH Yet ?
So, some strange woman abducted a six year old child within sight of his home?
