That's pretty much it. Once she plea bargained and accepted a sentence of probation, she also agreed to submit to their rules. In fact, everytime she goes to see her PO, she has to sign a list of rules, which includes language that says, more or less, the PO can tell you what to do & when to do it. If she doesn't like probation, she can simply request that she be revoked & a jail sentence is imposed. I've seen some of the more experienced jailbirds request the jail time and refuse probation because they hate being on paper.

Oh, and her hunger strike? Well, if she hasn't told jail personnel that she's on a hunger strike, they can read it here. And what do they do to prisoners on hunger strikes? Well, what they do is to commit the person to the nearest public mental health facility, stick an NG tube down her nose and force feed that person. If the person fights, they put the person in four-point restraints.

Concealing the children is another not-so-bright idea. That gives CPS an opening to petition the court for an emergency order for custody of the children, and once the children are located, one or both parents are going to be charged criminally with interference with custody (because CPS now has custody)--a class C felony under Wisconsin law (maximum sentence: 15 years in prison, $10,000 fine or both).

She's digging a deeper hole for herself.

If a particular probation officer is unusually reprehensible or violates a probationer's constitutional rights, their conduct can be reviewed. For example Bob Enyart was in trouble in Colorado for spanking his stepson and they tried telling him he couldn't appear on "Politically Incorrect" to tell his side of the story because it would be bad for his "rehabilitation." Wrong! The court ruled that Enyart had a First Amendment right to apear, probation or no probation. Since the current round of invasions of Mrs. Henson's rights also began with a denial of her request to appear on a talk show, look for a civil rights action to be filed on a First Amendment claim as well as many others.
