That was the allegations of what they were doing to their kids.
Maybe you can tell me why this whole issue came up. If you read the opinion, you'd know that it was one of the kids reporting mistreatment by the father.
I am fully aware that such claims can be trumped up, and Social Services agencies can use such things to wield power, so I don't just accept the claim without question. But I do think that there are questions--whether about the parents or the agency and court, which said:
"Given the history of this family, which we need not discuss here, permitting the parents to educate the children at home by means of a credentialed tutor would likely pose too many difficulties for the tutor."
