Update

So here's what has happened with that incident. A "friend" looked up the records for us. There was " just a blotter" (for those who know cop-speak, I guess you know what this means) filed saying my little one did run into the street, the first lady stopped her car, the lady behind her almost hit her and she called the police. The officer spoke to me warning me to watch my kids. Other than that, nothing was sent to child protective services, or beyond that.

I wish someone would have explained that to me right then and there. I am guessing when I went inside and asked my 13-year old to watch her while I spoke to my husband...he sort of didn't, and didn't want to tell me...I don't know. That's the only explanation that makes sense about how this all happened, how she got back up the steps and on our property without a peep, and was playing where I left her, within the time frame...who cares. I am grateful she's OK and no social workers will be knocking on my door . I am not letting her out again...without a leash. This job is hard.
