Passage Summary: Since almost everyone would hide their own kid from the cops if the kid were innocent, the author thinks most people must agree that it's okay to get in the way of the police sometimes.

Conclusion: It is likely a widely held belief that obstructing police work is occasionally morally justifiable.

Reasoning: Most people believe in a moral duty to protect family, and would therefore likely support parents hiding a falsely accused child from the authorities.

Analysis: The editorialist is guilty of a massive overgeneralization. They take a very specific, emotionally charged hypothetical—parents protecting a falsely accused child—and use it to claim that a broad, general principle is 'widely accepted.' Most people might agree with the specific act of a parent's love without agreeing that 'obstructing police' is a general moral right. Look for an answer that points out this gap between a specific, sympathetic instance and a broad moral rule.
