That is partial true. What was not reported is that the
CPS people stepped way out of bounds legally and if the family
had had a good legal eagle, the whole case would and should
have been thrown out. The family had done nothing wrong at
all in the eyes of the law until a busy body complained and
then the CPS people stepped in and literally made up charges.
The courts are one issue, I agree that they are out of control. Yet, I also believe my LEO friend when he said that the kids were in terrible shape and truly in danger. The taking of the kids was necessary, the follow up? I don’t know. Remember that some of the kids required hospitalization to get them up to a decent weight. Maybe education of the parents would have worked, but they threw that option away with a gun and kidnapping. If you remember the case, the parents stopped their court ordered visitation in protest. Nobody could convince me to stop seeing my child. Regardless of if it’s supervised or not. I went through years of custody battles and at no time did I think that kidnapping was a viable alternative. If the children had been in danger in the states custody I would have felt differently. There is no evidence that they were endangered by anyone other than their parents.
