One afternoon this past April, a Florida mom and dad I’ll call Cindy and Fred could not get home in time to let their 11-year-old son into the house. The boy didn’t have a key, so he played basketball in the yard. He was alone for 90 minutes. A neighbor called the cops, and when the parents arrived – having been delayed by traffic and rain – they were arrested for negligence.
They were put in handcuffs, strip searched, fingerprinted, and held overnight in jail.
It would be a month before their sons – the 11-year-old and his 4-year-old brother – were allowed home again. Only after the eldest spoke up and begged a judge to give him back to his parents did the situation improve.
