The Brood: Danielle Meitiv explains her 'free-range' parenting philosophy
When parents are investigated for neglect, it seldom makes national headlines. But the case of the Meitiv family was a bit different.
Alexander and Danielle Meitiv of Maryland had been found responsible for unsubstantiated child neglect by the Department of Child Protective Services. This after they let their two kids, ages 10 and 6, walk home alone from a park.
Their story launched a fierce debate, and now Child Protective Services has cleared the Meitivs of child neglect in one case.
Danielle Meitiv joined Take Two to discuss the latest development in her story.
