> It seems like you are taking a lot of effort to create an alternative narrative
I mean, it seems like the parent went through a lot of effort to craft a narrative where they aren’t bad parents despite having CPS called on them four times, their kids were accused of animal abuse, entering people’s houses without permission, and lets them run around town. I get that some neighbors can be intrusive, but either this is one single neighbor that needs to be given a cease and desist order, or there are multiple neighbors who were concerned enough to call the authorities. Either way this story doesn’t really lead me to the conclusion that the parent was fine, but the laws about kid supervision needed to be changed. Something just doesn’t make me fully believe that the parent didn’t do anything wrong.
