In many places in the US they'll take your kids into protective custody if you leave them unsupervised.

Happened to a friend at work. Quiet neighborhood, the park is literally on the other side of the lazy street. He was watching his kid from his window when another parent called the police for an unsupervised child. Cue a real legal battle where they could have lost custody of their kid.
Just curious, how old were they?
Would be nice if the article mentions the actual law.
