	Gods Graves Glyphs	The boy's father... Ratte is a tenured professor of classical archaeology at the University of Michigan, which means that, on a given day, he's more likely to be excavating ancient burial sites in Turkey than watching "Dancing with the Stars" - or even the History Channel, for that matter.

Chris Ratte's sisters, Catherine Miller and Felicity Ratte, left Massachusetts at 10:30 the night of the fateful lemonade purchase after the police officer who'd reluctantly requested a removal order told Ratte the state would likely jump at the chance to place Leo with responsible relatives. But when the two women arrived at the CPS office early Sunday, a caseworker explained they would not be allowed to see Leo until they had secured a hotel room.

The sisters quickly complied. But by the time they returned to CPS around 10:30 a.m., their nephew had been taken to an undisclosed foster home, where he would remain until a preliminary court hearing the following afternoon...

Sounds suspiciously vindictive to me. Could this incident be race-related? Let's get that uppity whitey and his little kiddie too, hmmm?

But there was really nothing any of them could do, they all said. They were just adhering to protocol, following orders.

the good old Nuremberg defence.

Christopher Ratte, 47, of Ann Arbor says he had no idea that the lemonade he bought for son Leo, 7, at Comerica Park three weeks ago, contained alcohol.

I had my first glass of red wine in Naples when I was eight years of age. I find this entire story totally incomprehensible.
