WTF is wrong with people? I'm very happy with the fact that she was arrested for child neglect, and that the children are now at least safe from their mother's inability to be a mother.

mY question is Why didnt the agency do anything on Thursday when the boy was found outside unsupervised . The women doesnt deserve to have the kids

this reminds me of a time some random kid walked into my house

i was in the basement, on the computer, hear the door open (my dad was going in and out), and turn around, its some random neighborhood kid, about 5-7 that just opened the door, and walked up the stairs into our living room. then, he goes and turns on our tv and vcr, and starts looking through our videos, and my mom and dad were like WTF? and then starts screaming for some cartoon movie, and just sits in front of the tv on the floor. and then he starts yelling at my mom to get some crayons and some paper, so he gets a white crayon and a piece of paper, and starts drawing on it, meanwhile, i call his mom, and she comes over to pick him up, and it ends up he was autistic, and just in his own world, and my mom apparently knew that, so she just tried to keep him calm until his mom came, cause if you mess with some autistic kids, they can get very violent

i was just surprised that he knew the way around my house

Most DCF agencies are overwhelmed and don't have the resources to take a child if it was, say a first offense or something that wasn't a major issue. But I think they have enough now to really put this case to bed.
