A SEX OFFENDER at the age of 12? And no repeats since then?

As poor parents as it seems they were, to take their child for THIS reason is not right.

FTA: But his record shows otherwise, with him having been convicted of sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, assault with a weapon, sexual interference and uttering threats.

I doubt the man is telling the whole truth about his being a sex offender at age 12. Perhaps he molested a much younger child. Perhaps his record extends over several years.

In any case, it looks like the State is using his past as a tool to keep him from keeping his children.

From the article:

"But his record shows otherwise, with him having been convicted of sexual assault, invitation to sexual touching, assault with a weapon, sexual interference and uttering threats."

to take their child for THIS reason is not right.

Reading everything else though makes me think the right decision was made.
