Where were their parents?!

The program "Inside Edition" follows the local news at noon on television here. Today, they had a story about two children making prank calls to 911.

The kids were a 13-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy. They made repeated short calls to 911 over a three-hour period, each call too short for police to locate them. During the first one, the girl said, "I was kidnapped. I'm in a dark, dark, place!" You can read more about it HERE.

So, here's my question -- Where the hell were their parents??
