I'm suspicious of this. Too dramatic, and I sense the desire for attention.
It is thus no surprise that the adopted child, Christopher, presents significant parenting challenges requiring a different style of parenting than the other two children in the family. The public schools sent him to a shrink where he was diagnosed ADHD and put on Ritalin. The boy's response prompted them to school their children at home and get him other help. I have met the therapist. NOBODY makes a significant commitment like that without the intent to do whatever is necessary to help him flourish, nor have they chosen to do so in isolation. The family has sought professional help for him and associated with a home education support group.
That group showed up for his hearing. There were thirty people there.
It was that difference in parenting that led a first time baby sitter, a minor, who had never even met the child in question (she sat the Johnson's two younger children only), to conclude on the condition of his room that such entirely-warranted differential treatment constitutes child-abuse! She lacked any contextual information from the parents or anyone else to make such a conclusion. It is my understanding that the police investigated and could find none.
No offense but, well...duh! The state is trying to take his child away. I'd be pretty dramatic, too. I'm surprised how so many people are automatically biased against the father. Anonymous complaints can be filed against a parent and even if the charges are baseless, CPS retains files on the family. Combine that with the fact that CPS detests homeschoolers and situations like these occur. This is not an isolated case.
