Sugar Land isn't a black neighborhood either.
Ok?.........

The mother is a moron.
If they really said the quote "Do you realize that your daughter is with 2 black men?" then there is a pretty clear indicator of their motivation. Why were they concerned she was with 'two black men'? Wouldnt it be equally disconcerting if they were concerned about her welfare if she were found at 3AM with two white men? Or two green men?
Now...all that being said...I can certainly see where there might be a level of concern. As a parent, I would be grateful for the phone call. the part that DOESNT make a ton of sense is that even after the parents spoke with the police, faxed copies of their licenses, confirmed everything they still werent convinced. Thats a little...weird.
In Houston. Look...the parents said they appreciated the phone call. The girl and both the guys said they understood the concern about a 13 year old from another state being in a car with two men at 3 AM. The stop and expression of concern...great job...bonus points. But...the whole 'black' thing and then the refusal to accept the parents word...thats just...weird.Why would there ever be a phone call if the girl was just dancing?
If the girl was acting like she didn't want to be with the men, that would be one thing, but if everybody was acting normally, why should the police even look twice at that?
Where were these three dancing?

Sometimes Abby Lee Miller takes a few of the girls to the dance competitions without their mom. Should the same thing happen to those girls if they come in contact with a police officer? Can a non-family member ever take care of a minor child anymore or will the police decide who the child can be with and who that child cannot be with?
The sexual abuse of a minor female often takes place while the child is in the care of a family member

Edit: I see from the article they were heading back from rehearsal and stopped for gas. The police treated the girl like a criminal even after they knew everything was fine and she was safe. They decided the girl was not safe with these two men even after seeing all the documentation. This is just crazy. It is now criminal to be a 13 year old girl out after a certain hour. Who decided that?

Most cities have a curfew or at least they did when I was a kid.
What if Miley Cyrus was with her older manager on the road and they stopped for gas at 3AM?
How can a cop decide after all documentation has been had that they girl was in danger?
In Miley's case, I'd be more concerned for the manager.
13yo girl out at 3am, yeah I would consider that a problem, regardless of who she was with, in most circumstances.
So there is never a reason have a 13 year old out at 3AM?
What would you have done after being presented with the documentation?
Does a notarized letter not mean anything anymore?
Do human traffickers usually have notarized and original birth certificates with them for the girls under their control?
Didn't say never, didn't say the other stuff either.
But he raises a good point.
A notarized document and consent over the phone is enough to let them go.
If you actually believe in following the law, rather than conspiratorial suspicion.

Saturday night, when the group, exhausted from their work, stopped off at nearby gas station.
“We were on the GPS trying to figure out where the hotel was. And we sat there and we dozed off.”
Add to that the police being provided with the story that they are her dance coach and partner for hip hop, backing it up with a number to call with a female voice on the other end vouching for behavior no sane parent would vouch for these days, and you have what appears to be the Elizabeth Smart Story all over again.
I can see CPS keeping her for an extra day to ensure there was no pimp/child slavery action going on. Just one dumb set of parents.
Well, here's the deal. If her dance instructors had been white, would people be talking about pimping and drug dealing in this thread? Of course not. I rest my case.
Yeah, that's where you're wrong, the story would still sound hinkey. However, had it not been hip hop and two fellows in hip hop dress (and most likely speech), the story might have sounded a bit more plausible (regardless of color). But even then, you have to admit, the story sounds too close to other abduction and human traffiking stories to be ignored as normal, safe behavior. When a 13yr old is involved, it was good the officers and CPS took the time to check out the story.
Your case fails.
