Leaving Kids in the Park a Crime?

Apparently, this issue has two side to it.  Is it a crime or is it not?  Maybe the more important question is should it be a crime?  After all - this dad was arrested).

Leaving your kids isn't a crime.  The responsibility is clearly up to the parents.  They know their kids.  They know the situation.  Letting your kids stay overnight with irresponsible parents is not illegal but it IS negligence. 

Leaving your kids is a crime.  The cops need to step in when kids are endangered by dumb parents.  Is being left in a park dangerous?  

When should cops get involved?  I don't think we want the government making every little decision.  But on the other hand there is a point where the law needs to protect the innocent.  What do moms think?
