Meanwhile 100% of parents are going "there but for the grace of God..." Kids get up to crazy shit all the time. There's no way to be up their asses enough to stop something like this if they get it in their heads and don't let on ahead of time. There's no way to hide or lock up everything that could be dangerous all of the time. Maybe today one of the many, many things in your house they've always left alone, that could be dangerous, they'll decide to screw with. You just hope they get out of your house before they harm themselves or others too badly. The difference between these parents and any other set of average to good parents, judging solely from this having happened, is that they were unlucky. Are they bad? Maybe. This doesn't give us much info one way or the other. Are they really really bad? Well since the call to the cops didn't end with one or both parents in jail on drug charges and the car was theirs, not someone else's, and the kid appears to have been fed, I'm gonna go with probably not. And yes those are all real things that it wouldn't even have been that weird to have ended up in a story like this.
