"Friends told KOTV that the Keplers could not have children and decided years ago to adopt. Their oldest daughter, Lisa, is now 18. Family friends said Lisa and her sister - who the Keplers also adopted - had been diagnosed with Reactive attachment disorder, which can cause serious behavioral issues. They said the Keplers spent thousands of dollars trying to get the girls the help they needed.
Gina and Shannon Kepler had Lisa in and out of programs, homes and therapy, according to family friends. But the girl was frequently kicked out or dismissed from the establishments."
"I've known him a week, less than a week," Lisa told the station. "He was everything. He gave me a place to stay, food to eat, a bed to sleep in. He meant a lot to me and dad came and took him away."

That’s awful. That makes it seem worse to me. Seems like a situation you would want to approach with a lot of trained personnel, backup, and a gentler approach. Not aggression or Dirty Harry style justice.
Just my opinion. I don’t know the details. I just like when situations can be dissolved rather than escalated. I was a bouncer when I was in college and I grew up in a house with a lot of violence. I prefer to take care of things reasonably whenever possible. This doesn’t seem like that kind of situation.
