That's about. The law was flawed, allowed oral declarations with no corroboration, the judge erred in allowing that as the basis of the decision. The Shindlers essentially had no standing in that trial and no with standing wanted a jury trial. Whittemore could have corrected that but chose not to do so. DCF (not JEB) is constrained when taking an "at risk person" into custody. The law is also fairly explicit in its requirements.
I believe both Bushes have acted to extent possible within the law. A higher power will judge Felos, Schiavo, Greer, et al.
