This story has a lot of details left out, and the cops may have very much been over reacting. But it is a pretty different scenario than the one previously cited. In this scenario, the girl was younger, and left at home/the park all day while the mother was away at work, for multiple days. (Rather than just being outside for a couple of hours once). It also is not clear what other conditions may have been present that may have contributed to the outcome. I very much agree that helicopter parenting and snobby neighbors are a major issue. Just that it is hard to judge individual situations without all the facts.
