This is beyond disgusting. I hope they have the legal standing to file a massive lawsuit against all involved. One of the first things that popped into my mind is the likelihood of psychological trauma of that child who, effectively, sent mom home and destroyed her career and family finances due to his behavior (which led to the "go have a walk" decision). I also have to wonder if the parents relationship with their kids --particularly the mother's-- was permanently damaged by this incident. It's like your kids became radioactive and anything you do can land you in jail for 20 years if you are not careful. This has to be horrible. Frankly, I would probably give serious thought to leaving the country and starting over somewhere else. Living an entire life with such a dark cloud over your entire family cannot be easy. I understand protecting children. However, I also understand common sense. What she did was not wrong at all. What everyone else did was horrifically wrong beyond any possible justification. They need to get justice. I hope they do. I also hope her record is cleared. BTW, this isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened. I remember other cases from many years ago: https://www.google.com/search?q=parents+arrested+for+kids+walking+to+school https://www.google.com/search?q=parents+arrested+for+kids+wa...
