These women were “disputed”. That’s because they said they were adults, and the CPS said they were not.
In the case in this very article, the woman gave them her driver’s license the first day she was picked up.
Further, only 100 or so out of the 460 children were not readily linked to their mothers. In over 75% of the cases they knew WHO the mother was.
The CPS told the story that they didn’t know who was who, but they were ignoring evidence like drivers licenses, birth and marriage certificates from Utah, and other information and direct statements by the mothers and children.
Yes, there were some women who lied. Some did so to be able to stay with their children. But these 26 were disputed because they said they were adults and CPS said they were children.
The problem we have here is that every time one lawyer says something about one parent or one child, the pro-CPS folks pretend it’s true for every case.
That’s how we got the absurd belief that every one of the 461 kids and their parents lived in a single dorm on the facility.
NO one said they lived in the same dorm. There’s a distinct difference between “residence”, which is a legal status, and a “dormitory”, which is a building.
