I think this was a wise choice by the judge. It sets the precedence, as we agreed, to keep families together under circumstances like these. It is the vehement argument of the “anti-every Mormon” crowd that these people should not receive any judgment that might even be construed as favorable, regardless of what they say.
Yep. CPS should never be about punishing but protecting the child in the least traumatic way. If you put the kids with the parent (s) under supervision you are helping the family IMO.
