Some facts do exist....the dad did use a knife to convey a threat to the neighbor, and asked one of his kids to retrieve his gun. The neighbor said that was enough for him, and complained to the cops.
Another part of the story which is bogus...saying that they were home-schooled. They are ‘un-schooled’....meaning they experience life on their own time, own agenda, and when they feel like it. There’s no mention of books, curriculum (something that home-schoolers adhere to), or tests to measure progress. So it’s bogus to tie this family to home-schoolers.
As for the lawyer game to this? Basically, whoever they hire will meet up with the social services crowd, and the family will have to do two things...(1) move out of the hut they live in and probably into a trailer, and (2) develop some type of home-schooling atmosphere with curriculum and a plan to satisfy some judge (or put the kids into a regular school).
If you donate money to this cause....you are merely paying for some lawyer to convince parents to change, paying down on the trailer costs, and the books required for home-schooling. Whether dad gets jail-time for threatening someone with a knife is unknown.

Unschooling is a philosophy some homeschoolers adhere to...the successful ones use it with motivated intelligent and curious children, others use it to provide a life skills only kind of education.

Yet if A child coming in from central America on their own totally supervised and living in far greater squalor and disease.... We ship their parents here.....
If we were consistent all these children showing up at the border would be sent to CPS...
