In May 2009, the parents were contacted by Child Protective Services after they left their son home alone to take their daughter, who was having respiratory problems, to the hospital.
“They admitted to it and they said they understand why it was dangerous to leave a child that young at home by themselves,” said Marissa Gonzales, a CPS spokeswoman.
“They said they had been really concerned about their daughter and so they just hadn’t been thinking but they were adamant that it wouldn’t happen again.”
I can’t blame CPS on that. I wouldn’t removed kids from their parents in such a situation. I wouldn’t have expected their imminent murder.
