First let me apologize for calling any parent a moron. I was out of line.
I am not calling you a moron for taking your child out late at night for dinner. I am saying that the father of the 10 year left her get out of his sight in a crowd of kids who are bigger than she is in an area that is not known for it's high security. I am from Houston. I know that particular area well. It is not crackville however, leaving a child unattended in a crowd of 400+ other kids and who knows who else.. for even a spilt second can be a disaster.
Now... if the child was WITH her father and the police raided the place and took her from his custody.. yes, Sue the dickins out of them.
I wasn't sure if the father was with her or not. I was under the impression that the father was with her and she was taken (that is what I thought I read in the article).
If they took her from him then they deserve a nice heafty lawsuit.
If she got seperated because she had to use the restroom or other perfectly understandable causes then I can understand that. However if he let her out of his sight into the crowd of people.... Then I would have a problem with it.
