A Maryland couple is under investigation for child neglect after they let their kids, aged six and 10, walk to and from a local park without parental supervision.

On a Saturday afternoon last December, Danielle and Alexander Meitiv gave their kids Rafi and Dorva permission to walk home alone from a park that was located a mile from their house. While the kids were walking home, someone saw them and alerted the police. The authorities then arrived to escort the kids home and discuss the dangers of the situation with their parents.
