Woman Calls Cops on Unsupervised Toddlers, But Was She in the Right?

A woman calls the cops on unsupervised children, but was she in the wrong? She found two children playing on her porch without any adult supervision. The children were very young and did not seem to know where they lived. The woman tried to find out where they lived and even offered to walk them home, but the boy kept yelling at her.

She eventually called the non-emergency police line and two cops showed up. The mother of the children was found 10 houses down and appeared to glare at the woman. The woman wonders if she was in the wrong, as her boyfriend suggests that the family might not be fully legal.

What do you think? Was the woman right to call the cops or was she overreacting in this situation ?

A woman heard a commotion outside her house and found two unsupervised toddlers playing on her porch. After attempting to find their guardians and failing, she called the non-emergency police line.

The mother was eventually found, and the incident has since sparked controversy. While some agree with the woman’s actions, others believe that she may have put the family in danger, or worse, caused them to face legal trouble.

The post also includes strange behavior from one of the toddlers, which may suggest a larger issue at play.
