I'm betting that "exhaustion" is the excuse the lawyers are giving to the parents.
I see a circling of wagons here not by the parents but by the lawyers, who want to protect those boys. I think that's LE's goal as well.

BBM. Lawyers will protect them from what??? They are currently calling a murderer mom and dad!! What is the big deal about two boys sitting around playing with toys while some social worker asks them questions about their home life and baby sister. Kids are not that fragile..sorry.
