skip a few paragraphs:
Under the deal CPS released, the families wont be able to leave Texas until Aug. 31 but would be allowed to move back to the ranch. It also calls for parenting classes and visits by CPS to interview children and parents in the child abuse investigation.
Walther wanted to remove the August deadline and provide for psychological evaluations of the children.

She also wanted CPS to have access to the ranch and the children at all times necessary for any investigation.
