Neighbor Calls CPS On Mom For Letting Child Play Outside
AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM) - A mother in Austin says she is angry, humiliated and dumbstruck that a neighbor called Child Protective Services on her for letting her 6-year-old son play outside.
Kerry Anne Roy lives in what she considers a "quiet neighborhood" and is comfortable allowing her child to play outside. But her neighbor, who saw Roy's son alone one morning 150 yards from their home, isn't.
The neighbor took the boy into his home and called police.
Austin police have confirmed an investigation took place, but says the child endangerment claims are unfounded.
Roy says she will think twice before letting her son out of her sight again to play.
