Could even be a better way of teaching your children lessons (like not eating their dad's cherry danishes without permission...) than more normal punishments. Again depending on the child.
I do see that the parents were checking up on them and had taught them correctly what to do in case of emergencies. In the end, I'm not quite ready to label them the worst parents ever.
If you do want to take actions, I'm not going to argue. Worst case scenario is it was a waste of time for the CPS.

This isn't something that would be investigated by CPS, so I don't see how it would be a waste of time for them.
There is something seriously wrong about teaching your kids they cannot trust you. Does it require some other drastic action? Doubtful, but it does kind of indicate the parents might have some other issues. Issues, which might require some intervention.
