Who are the parents?

I am usually happy to follow the general rules, but they need to be clear.  In the gray area, we shouldn't have to worry that our parenting choices might end with the police questioning the child and arresting us in front of our children.

I realize that laws and rules are made for a reason and unfortunately as a result of a poor choice or decision.  However, if no one is hurt or negatively impacted, let's get CPS involved rather than arresting parents as a form of educating people to be better parents.
