Putting your convenience before the health of other people's children is entitled and selfish. Public health ordered them to keep their children isolated until they had tested negative and remained symptom free for a few days. Instead they risked sickening or killing other people's children. That is never acceptable. I am sympathetic to their inconvenience but it's an entitled, selfish asshole move to risk the lives of other people's children for any reason.

I think they should be charged with violating a public health order and had my children been sickened because of their selfishness I would be suing them for every penny I could get out of them.

It is NEVER acceptable. EVER.
