The children were playing at a park in Polkville. The ”teacher” was much more concerned with her chips and feeding her face than keeping the children from running back and forth from the picnic table to the fenced playground. Two children ran in front of our car twice before the “teacher” bothered to stop them from their third trip. She did not however stop stuffing the chips into her mouth.
