The state tried to get a temporary restraining order to stop FOX 4 from reporting the Kidds’ story, saying the couple does not have the authority to consent to an interview and that our report will cause them irreparable harm.

'Scuse ME!!???? Since when, in America, home of the First Amendment, do people NOT have the right to consent to an interview???? This is sheer statism!!!

Judge Weldon Copeland ruled against the state.

Thank God, SOMEBODY has a lick od sense in this mess!!

He said he would welcome a neighbor or family member to serve as a guardian but no one has come forward. The state is the last resort.

The last sentence is the money-line. The state is ALWAYS the last resort and it sounds like another case of state "social workers" over reacting without knowing any of the facts. They do the same thing with children.

When someone has been appointed as guardian of your person, either temporarily or permanently, you do not have the power to give consent to anything or sign your name to anything binding. It basically amounts to the same thing as you being a minor child again. I am not agreeing with what has been done, I'm simply trying to explain.

For many years I was a paralegal for an attorney who was quite often appointed as guardian of the persons and estates of incompetent folks in Texas. Most of the time these cases are done for good reason with respectable results. Doesn't sound like this couple's estate and best personal interests are being handled well at all. I wish I was still there and could look into the matter and try to get it straightened out.

This is why we have a Second (2) Amendment!
