Here’s the most recent I could find on court hearings. Doesn’t look like Bryson is home but supervised visits. Wonder what that will look like?Former Colts player Daniel Muir, wife appear in court for no contact hearing

What the what? The mother was able to stop an interview of the children by a family case manager who had been escorted to the house. This happened after a first child described punishment by a spanking with a piece of garden hose on his arms, legs and behind. Then a second child was interviewed and mother stopped the interview.

Yet all the children claimed they felt safe at home and that their needs were being met. Doesn’t sound like it to me but I guess that’s their normal. JMO

From your link:

Another child said his parents either talk to him or give him “the rod,” which he said meant a “whooping” on his butt. Kristin then stopped the interview out of concern that the statements being made would be misconstrued, and said none of the children in the home are abused or neglected.

So many children grow up with violence and abuse in the home and thus they think this is ‘normal’. So when asked by Child Protective Services if they feel their needs are met they say ‘yes’. To be honest if I were asked that question between the ages of say 10-16 I would have had no idea what it meant. Also I would have been in fear of upsetting my parents by not answering a question the way they may have wanted…and I didn’t have abusive parents. So I can’t imagine the pressure to answer ‘correctly’ an abused child might be under. Knowing a wrong answer means more abuse. I can’t believe they ask these questions in front of the abusive parents!
