I heard only one account of Danielle selling W cookies. Still, she was merely acquainted.Ok, you have established that one of the boys crossed the street and the other had to be rescued. I know that is supposed to illustrate a lack of supervision of Danielle.But as you indicated, we don't know how often she was without supervision or whether she ever was without supervision. Swingers that the van Dams are notwithstanding, there is no evidence that they were other than good parents.

I believe it indicates a pattern of non-supervision when a mother leaves her children alone not once, but TWICE in a single day.

Brenda in one of her accounts, stated the previous year cookie selling...that is when she saw that DW was renovating his kitchen....and why she asked to see it on this cookie sale day.

We already know she was without supervision on 2/1..she was left in a Mervyns dressing room while mom went to a different store to get the boys.
