(12,482 posts)unicorporated county areas there are constables and justices of the peace, so your assertion that there is no local government outside the cities just isn't true, even if you don't count the county. the probable reason nobody called is not because there was nobody to call, clearly there was, because cps was called. if you were to pan the cameras around that have photgraphed that bus you would see that most of the houses around it look no more enticing than the bus. splendora is a community that, as i've alreday posted, is characterized by grinding generational poverty and its pathologies. it is a hotbed of aryan brotherhood activity and methamphetamine production. THAT is why nobody "called the law" as we say. that and the fact the neighbors probably didn't think the bus was a bad place for th kids to live, because relative to their own houses it isn't - unless you consider tar paper to be a step up from a metal bus. hell i'd probably rather live on the bus.
