I pseudo-transcribed Michelle Stanley's videotaped statement. (not every word is exact but close enough)

Here is my transcript:
Michelle Stanley
Our children were taken from us without saying one word why. There was a search warrant for MMS thats what they came to search our house for. . . we did not know a single thing about any other allegation until the last few seconds of the office closing on Friday we were consulting with a lawyer and they made us sit there and wait until the office closed before they faxed it to him.
He went through it with us and just bomb after bomb of laying it on me after a long day of meeting the kids for the first time since they left, finding out they had put them in public school already, everything I found out that day it was the worst day of my life and then to find out the betrayal and the things that the kids said that werent true. So many things that day finding out but again . . . they did it on the last minutes of Friday everything was closed and we had a 3 day weekend.
"...finding out they had put them in public school already...it was the worst day of my life....the BETRAYAL AND THE THINGS THAT THE KIDS SAID THAT WEREN'T TRUE."
So she's already implying some sort of disparate, unfair treatment in that they had to wait until a Friday afternoon to find things out. Is she implying they not only withheld information from the family until Friday afternoon, but also waited for a three-day weekend on purpose? As though her family's case is the only case being worked on and they all sat around twiddling their thumbs until 4:50pm just to persecute her further?
They are upset maybe because of the media. I did not do . . the media took off on itself because they talked to us . . not once did they ask us anything they just interviewed our kids. They never once said why they were taking them never gave us a clue. The DHS thats their job to say whether it is safe or not and the DHS Dept and their investigators were here and they were very comfortable the kids were safe so when Mike Right decided no they are not and said Im gonna take them into holding and he did.
Uh, yeah, the media "took off on itself because they talked to us." The media wouldn't have had anything to "take off" with if the family hadn't had engaged with them, so...I'm calling shenanigans on that claim. Her previous statement about the MMS being in the search warrant should have given her a clue as to why they were removing the kids, since they admittedly did have MMS present. She clearly doesn't understand how CPS works, because OBVIOUSLY the investigators on the scene were not "very comfortable the kids were safe," and if no one was telling her anything, how did she come to learn that alleged information in the first place?
So many contradictions it's making my head spin.
The focus in the beginning was the MMS thats what the search warrant was that was why the media ran with that, we didnt try to give them a false impression they didnt tell us what that was we were scratching our head, and because we have two teenagers and they had them in the van for over 5 hours and Im going oh my goodness what are my teenagers saying . . and we thought they gave the impression that they were waiting in the van they had to be examined because they might have MMS present in them. Clean bill of health, nothing in them .. .
So again, she knows the MMS was part of the search warrant, so she can't claim cluelessness. "...we have two teenagers and they had them in the van for over 5 hours and I'm going oh my goodness what are my teenagers saying." RED FLAG RIGHT THERE...not "what are they doing to my kids," or "are they ensuring my children are getting fed and water provided during these 5 hours" no instead it's "what are they saying?"
Does anyone really believe the children were tested for MMS and it came back negative that quick from a van lab? I don't.
They had to ask the kids what would happen if they leave them here and both of my teenagers said we would pack them up and flee. And because we go camping we have a van that has some camping gear that we leave in it so if we go camping its less time to pack. One of my children said and matter of fact the van is packed and the other one said if you leave us here they will pack us up tonight.
She sure seems angry that the teenagers told DHS what the parents would be likely to do, which would be pack them up and flee. Sure sounds like there'd been discussion in the home regarding having to flee "from authorities," or the teenagers likely would have answered differently. Good for the teens for telling it like it is. Because indeed there was a packed van ready to go, whether from "always keeping it ready" or not, it was ready and the teens knew it was likely going to be used to flee.
So I thought maybe that was the reason our kids were taken but now they are saying . . the sheriff I just heard the press release 15 or 10 minutes ago, and Im just going (shakes head) child abuse? Neglect?
Anyone whos ever been in my house knows these kids are not abused and they are not neglected. Our house is full of all the provisions, anything they dont want to wear like shoes, we have over 200 something pair of shoes, they choose not to wear them. Anybody ever had a child out there that likes to go barefooted?
Kid blaming again--they don't like the over 200 pairs of shoes in the house those ungrateful children!
America youre fired up because if they can do it to us they can do it to your kids. If they had a problem they should have come to us. The Neigh. . . the friends that worked with them shame on you! Back in the olden days when a man was beatin on his wife three grown men would go and face that man with what he was doing. But now you have to go to the authorities you cant come talk to us like mature adults and discuss it.. I mean even to . . .
Ah, the olden days argument. As though the olden days were better LOL. So when three grown men would go confront a wife beater back in the day (vigilante justice) that was all great and dandy and apparently equated to "talking to people like mature adults and discussing it" (uh yeah kinda don't think three grown men going to confront a wife beater were planning to just have a mature discussion). Wow, literally shaming people for going to authorities instead of vigilante.
Im sorry we didnt have the perfect family, because of our teenage situation and our first older kids, realizing that maybe it might have something to do with us because of our raising them having to do with us even though we are doing better than most people. We are still questioning our parenting skills even though we went through Total Transformation and had difficulty implementing it because of the reward system we dont have the means to give them allowance we give them lots of privileges but of course the kids you can give them 10 and then you say no one place and its like everything is no.
Anybody rec....you know understand that? But you know these grown adults didnt have enough discernment to know what they are dealing with and they went riding on their words and I understand the concern and thats fine but they what they have on us I dont think it justifies taking all the kids. My little ones they will never be the same, the teenagers they want to go to public school fine they can stay. We will do anything.
I may be misunderstanding the first sentence, but it seems like she's saying that they didn't have the perfect family because of the teenagers and older children.
The MMS is just gone its not worth that. We were using it for the aquaponics to balance the pH for the fish and my husband hes old-ER than me and he wants to be around to raise the kids and so hes just getting his body needs more acid. He tests it and he watches his acidity goes up . . it goes down and alkaline. Hes been having great benefits from it.
AHA!!! "We were using for the aquaponics...and [my husband] wants to be around the raise the kids and so he's just getting his body needs more acid. He tests it and he watches his acidity goes up...it goes down and alkaline. He's been having great benefits from it."
BUT IF IT'S ONLY BEING USED FOR AQUAPONICS, THEN HOW IS IT IMPACTING THE HUSBAND'S PH BALANCE AND GIVING HIM GREAT BENEFITS??? HINKY HINKY HINKY
If we let them get away with this its gonna be yall next. I love my teenagers, and Hals not a perfect Father but he loves them. If were guilty of something were guilty of loving them.
Our only hope right now to keep this from dragging through the court is to have a lot of support to be out there at 1:30. Theres a lot of people who know us to be people for our defense who know us. But we need everybody out there for our rights for our liberties.
One thirty is whenever its gonna be get out there early. We have witnesses anybody knows us who wants to get out there and witness for us.
Its walking through the house and rooms are empty. If feel like just like a when a person dies and theyre gone. Just like and their rooms are empty, our house is empty.
