Disturbing, but should be remembered this is the case for the prosecution, not necessarily the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Saw pictures on the Daily Mail. Disgusting living conditions.
There is definitely more than one side to this story. There are some pretty serious allegations which if true (I am making no judgments) might justify some kind of intervention.
I guess he doesn’t like using passwords on pizza delivery sites.
But police brutality against Whitey will not make it to the 6 o’clock news.
I would be tempted to do something quite illegal to bring some understanding to these CPS types.
They seemed happy with it.
They did it because they could do it and because they don’t think the family can obtain high powered counsel.
This is a reminder to those who chime in on home school stories that the mom should never let the social worker/police in without a warrant. These folks DID NOT give permission, and their place was invaded and the children taken away anyway. Yes, their legal challenge will be stronger later, in the meantime, their ten children have been sent to who knows where.
Hillary Clinton, “It Takes a Village” to take your children!
Kid play in the mud. When I was small my sister and I did a lot of that. Sometimes we had to get hosed off before we were allowed in the house.
No matter how primitive the conditions, the gvt. needs a warrant to enter private land and seize people and property. If, as reported, the kids are all healthy and happy, this sounds like tyranny to me.
Sorry, but what I saw does not justify taking the kids away, splitting them up, without their parents, without proper investigation of abuse and/or neglect. I have seen much worse conditions in govt. provided housing of Chicago, NYC, etc.
The living conditions look pretty bad. However, did the cops have a warrant for the seizure of the children? I incline towards supporting the authorities in this particular case as long as they followed the proper forms. The dad sounds like a nut job, the conditions are filthy, all in all it does not look good for the parents. The kids in one photo do look happy.

Not everybody who gets in trouble with the cops or has their children taken away is a victim of unjustified government meddling.
Until officers start paying for executing warrentless seizures with their lives, I doubt we'll see anything in the way of reform.
Bingo.
Living off the grid doesn’t mean you have to live in something worse than a pigsty.
The headings from the article:
1. Homeschooling is legal
2. The CPS Complaint
3. Living Conditions
4. This was not their first contact with CPS
5. Possible identification abuse
6. Previous run-ins with the law
7. The audio recordings
If these are correct, esp. #3 and #4, why was there no warrant?
The KY Constitution says, in part:
Section 10So, given that the children are people, and were seized, the government needs a warrant describing them, no?
The people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers and possessions, from unreasonable search and seizure; and no warrant shall issue to search any place, or seize any person or thing, without describing them as nearly as may be, nor without probable cause supported by oath or affirmation.
