Double teaming daughters, whining and pleading, and making promises that (as they are just teenagers and dumb kids) they weren't going to keep anyway. A lot of parents fall for those - either because they're gullible, or just because they can't deal with the whining anymore. And that is why Ozpin had a recording of Ruby's fight against the robbers - Taiyang put Qrow on the case, and he chose to follow Ruby as she was the younger of the two.

So, not complete trust. But enough to let them go - as long as Qrow secretly followed along behind.
