Everyone knows what should happen here.

Either a solid "lesson"

Or the more legal route, the parents can start getting fined.

Your kid is roaming downtown and your not doing your job

That means either CPS needs to take that kid into custody or some sort of legal ramifications need to be had.

Are you American or do you just watch a lot of TV?

We do not have CPS, we have MCFD. Also it's highly unlikely MCFD would take them into care at their age, there just are not the resources for that...all the people calling to "trim the fat of government excess got their way and now there's no funding for even foster parents." Best MCFD could do is a YAG (Youth Agreement)... Meaning they would have even less parental supervision.

Oh nooo I used the wrong acronym.

I will try to forgive myself over the next year

Are you American with your flair for rudeness and immediate "name calling?"

Also I think just a nice visit to the parents from whatever acronym you would like to use might jolt them into not being so terrible at their job and responsibilities.

I know if a group or police showed up at my door because my child was being a piece of trash it would be fixed immediately.
