You may remember the story of Maryland parents Danielle and Alexander Meitiv, who were under investigation by Child Protective Services for allowing their 10-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter to walk home alone from a park one mile away from their house.
The “free-range” parents were found guilty yesterday of “unsubstantiated” child neglect after a two-month investigation by the Montgomery County CPS.
Danielle Meitiv said she and her husband plan to appeal the decision and will still let their children walk to the park.
Officials declined to comment on the case, but say an unsubstantiated finding is made when there’s some information supporting child neglect, seemingly credible reports disagree or there isn’t enough information for a conclusion, AP reported.
