slideshow Two Maryland children who got national attention as the "free range kids" because of their parents' decision to let them roam alone were taken into custody again Sunday by Child Protective Services. 
Danielle and Sasha Meitiv's children, ages 6 and 10, were picked up by police on Sunday at around 5 p.m., and taken to Child Protective Services. A neighbor apparently saw the children walking alone and called 911 to report it. FOX 5's Marina Marraco reports the children were walking about a third of a mile from home at the time.
Danielle Meitiv tells FOX 5 she had told her kids to be home by 6:30 p.m., and when they weren't, she and her husband became frantic and started driving around looking for them.
The Meitivs say CPS didn't call them to let them know they had the kids until about 8 p.m. The Meitivs drove to CPS to pick up their kids, but say they were told to "take a seat" and initially weren't given any information about their children, except that they were there.
Just after 10:30 p.m., the Meitivs were reunited with their kids. They had to sign a temporary safety plan to take them home, which means they are not allowed to leave the children unattended at all.
The Meitivs' 10-year-old son told reporters they sat in the police car for about two hours before they were told they would be dropped off at home, but instead, they went to CPS in Rockville.
Danielle Meitiv said she had a nightmare that something like this would happen.
The Meitiv family made national news in January, when the parents were investigated for letting their children roam freely though their town without parental supervision.
Then, in March, Child Protective Services found the parents were guilty of "unsubstantiated" child neglect. The children remained in their parents' custody. The Meitivs said they planned to appeal the decision, and this happened.
Police say after a thorough investigation, a decision about whether or not the Meitivs will face charges will be made.

I suppose I was a free range kid. We lived on a dirt, then gravel road and were often told to go outside and play. Then when we got bikes our mileage increased. But we always had to be home on time for dinner.
Probably some bitter old maid, a regular Gladys Kravitz type with no kids and can't mind her own fucking business. Then again it could have been misterwhite or Gatlin since those two nanny-state pricks believe that kids belong to the almighty State.
The Meitivs say CPS didn't call them to let them know they had the kids until about 8 p.m. Looks like the only danger the kids were in was being abducted by cops and held captive by CPS.
Heck yeah! Yeah!
But we always had to be home on time for dinner. I was a Free Range kid in a city in the 1950's. I was walking alone maybe 15 blocks to go to Friday night football and baseball games at the local high school when I was 8 years old,and sometimes not getting back home until midnight. Nobody would even be awake when I got home. The route I had to take took me right past a couple of bars in the black section of town. By the time I was 14,I had a charge account at a bar,and was staying gone all weekend. My mother would even ask me when I was leaving home on Friday afternoon if I would be back that night. Yeah,growing up like this made me more independent and self-reliant,but even though this was the 1950's and early 1960's,this was so wrong on so many different levels that I now have to wonder "WTF were they thinking?" I had no idea there was anything unusual about this when I was a kid because it was all I knew. You can bet your Bush that if I had children they wouldn't have been "free range children". Still,this was broad daylight in the neighborhood they live in,and one of the children was 10 years old. This causes me to have mixed feeling about this. It is true that you have to protect your children,but that doesn't mean you need to keep them locked up like they are prisoners. They need some freedom during daylight hours. How else can they visit their neighborhood friends?

Ya gotta love the creative language of Statists. The Meitiv family made national news in January, when the parents were investigated for letting their children (ages 6 and 10) roam freely though their town without parental supervision. Leash-less AND without a license! We objekt!!
Mrs. Kravitz? Naw, don't see it.
Ya gotta love the creative language of Statists. I understand they are tastier and more healthy for your diet than the ones kept in cages.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

She would never tell us that she was serving liver until we were seated at the table -
