"Superintendent of Schools Susan Parrella said she was unaware of yesterday's incident and that, currently the school department approves of the education plan filed by DSS for the Bryant children.

"An acceptable home school plan is in place right now," said Parrella. "I was not aware of any testing occurring today.""

Bizarre...If an acceptable plan is ALREADY in place, and an acceptable plan is an alternative to testing, then why is the DSS threating this family?

The kids were already in custody, even though they lived with their parents. This social worker probably wanted to throw her weight around.

The juvy judge is probably going to agree with her.

The oldest is 15 and is in "custody" until 16. I say take the test and let everyone know you're doing it under duress, give the social services department a lot of bad publicity, and bide your time until you are 16.
