Parents Pull Kids From School After Contact w/CPS

Item: Couple pulls kids from school after official contacted CPS/KREM2

More Info: On Nov. 17 the children missed the bus and were forced to walk the 1.4 miles to school. The children walked along a dirt path off Highway 291 to get there. Maree Koolstra said she followed the children along as she drove in her car to monitor their progress. Upon seeing the boys walking to school, a school official there contacted CPS and that agency contacted the Koolstras.

Question: Do you sympathize with the parents or school officials in this incident?
