I couldn't agree more than we need to protect children, and sometimes parents are not fit to be parents. A lot of kids die tragically from neglect and incompetance. It is really ashame. However, there are many cases of an over stepping of boundarys and an invasion of people rights. Yeah, we only know one side of this story, and it seems she was dumb enough to refuse to give the officer information that she was obligated to give. It is pathetic if this woman ends up in jail for something so tiny, that certianly doesn't help her kids any. Even the fear and stress from having your mom get arrested in front of you and the drama of her going to court with the possibility of her being taken away for a period of time seems like it could be something pretty upsetting for a kid, maybe even tramatizing.

This woman doesn't sound like a truely neglectful parent, sounds like she made a bad judgement call at the absolute worst, while there are parents out there destroying their child's lives at this very moment. Kind of a shame when we put so much effort into nailing parents on things like this they do in front of the eyes of others, while the guy who is having sex with six year old unseen by anyone manages to get away with it.
