Here’s a little more information from various sources:

“Amber was about 13 months old when she was abducted from a Chuck-E-Cheese Restaurant while in the custody of her foster parents in 2003 in Norwalk, California. Three of Amber’s aunts took her. Two of her aunts were caught at the time, but the third was able to get away with little Amber. The three aunts were juveniles at the time of the kidnapping which took place during a non-custodial visitation.”

“The FBI and the LA County Sheriff’s Department went with the Phoenix police to the home. What they found was little Amber in the shower under a pile of clothes, where an unidentified female had hidden her.

Her identify had been changed including her name and date of birth. She appeared to be in good condition. Authorities learned she has not been enrolled in school. A positive match was made from a footprint and DNA.”

“Amber had been in her grandparents’ care after her own mother had given her up, but then removed from the grandparents’ home and put in foster care. “

“Detectives began following several leads that led them to the Phoenix home where a sign outside advertises tarot card and psychic readings as well as a ‘healer.’”

“Phoenix police say the girl abducted by three aunts from her foster parents nearly seven years ago has never been in school and can’t read. The girl spoke English and some Romanian.”

I’m not a fan of CPS.

With what I’ve found, I doubt there was money involved. But I’m also quite certain this wasn’t an evangelical christian family trying to save the child from foster care. Looks more like some ethnic thing to me.

A 7-year-old should have been taught how to read, whether you believe in public school or not. It seems much more likely the child was held out of school for fear of being caught. Although you’d think a pyschic wouldn’t have to worry about getting caught, since they would know ahead of time and all. Could have been one of those Psychic Evangelical Christians though.

They sound like gypsies or something. However, I see nothing in your new information that justifies the government coming in at all. Certainly, a 7 year old not being able to read is not justification for taking a child, regardless of how we all hate illiteracy (and by the way, putting the kid in public school is no guarantee that she'll learn to read either). It still sounds like the family decided to retrieve the girl from strangers, and are only outlaws because of that act. The ironic thing is that if the government weren't hellbent on snatching this kid from the family, they wouldn't have been afraid to put in her in public school.
