> It was Super Bowl Sunday in February 2019. Cynthia Rivers and her husband decided that their kids, ages seven and nine, deserved a long-promised treat for cleaning their rooms: the right to walk to Dunkin' Donuts by themselves. (Reason has changed her name to protect the family's anonymity.)

I didn't read that last sentence at first and was trying to search for this story in other news sources but kinda hard when I don't have the name of the person.

> The officers also claimed that they had received a dozen 911 calls about the kids during the short time they were gone. Rivers thought this was unlikely, as they had only made it past four other homes

Yes it is hard to believe but not in the way Rivers is saying. Seems like there is more to this story they aren't telling us.
