New post on facebook site provides some insight into the types of things the court has asked the parents to do. I think it's a very positive thing to see the parents so interested in complying with the activities the court has required of them. As long as they cooperate, and are supervised after receiving the kids back, I think we can all agree that the best outcome for the kids is well underway.
Few things summarized from the post, attributed to MS (mom):
-Friends came and "cleaned up" a part of their property, which they are grateful for. (Unknown if court required this, but my suspicion is that something there was unsafe or unacceptable.)
- MS says they are working hard and fast to complete all that the court has asked them to do, ahead of the Feb 12 hearing, which the post says would normally take "months". So there must be more than a few small items they were asked to accomplish, IMO.
- MS and HS are reported to be participating in court ordered parenting classes, and participating in psych evals (which IMO, is a very normal and expected court order as a step to regaining custody of kids)
- The post also says they are preparing for the "extreme challenge of lifestyle dictates" by the court. From that comment, my interpretation is that they will have to demonstrate that they are willing and able to do a number of things "differently" to be acceptable to the court. More evidence that it was not simply an attack on "homeschooling" or "MMS" that lead to the children being removed, IMO.
-There is a recent very nice pic of HS and a couple young kids, so we know visitation is still in progress.
I'm hopeful that this is the beginning to a new kind of homelife, and an improved relationship with their parents for the kids, that eliminates the hazards and "lifestyle" difficulties they had before.
I do hope the court will insist on a long period of continuing CPS/ DHS supervision of the home situation after they regain custody of the kids, to ensure compliance over time. But overall, a very optimistic re-start for the whole family. It sounds like the process is working to me. And that's the best possible outcome for the kids, IMO.
