A run down on common law marriage in Texas for anyone who is interested.

I don't think any child should be used as a pawn. That just is not right.
No, it's not right, at all!!! A level headed individual would not do anything to harm a child, but there are some people who are very twisted, and they have no conscience.
IMHO
Do we know for sure the child was not in the Jeep? Horrible to imagine, but it seems early in case that news was reporting child was taken into protective custody because CC "had involved him" - which later was understood to be related to shots fired at house. IF shots were fired at house, seems CC's family would want the boy safe at an undisclosed location...
It isn't known with any certainty whether the child was or was not in the vehicle.
It is possible that CC told law enforcement she had reason to believe her son would be in danger if she told police what she knew.
That alone would provide sufficient legal foundation for immediate removal of a child from a residence. Any reason-based ongoing perceived danger to a child could also move a judge to keep a child away from households where ongoing endangerment might exist until something changes.
The 14-day period for the initial hearing that determines if a child is returned to a home has passed. I'm assuming the hearing was held and the judge ruled "not at this time" with regard to placing the child within the family. I'm going to also assume that the judge has a valid reason because, when possible, family placement is the preferred norm.
Horrible situation for the child. Another person victimized by those who perpetrated this crime.
My experience has been for CPS court records to be under seal more often than not, so I don't anticipate use of the Open Records Act could shed much light on this aspect and I'm good with that. The child's best well-being is what counts.

Just speculation?:thinking::thinking:
Wondering if CC was promised $$$ to get this job done??? And I think it was more than $500!
IMHO
We do know that the boy was not with his Grandma or his uncle because they admitted they did not know id he was in the car or not. Uncle said something like ' if he was he would be able to say so.'
So that makes me wonder. Where would he be at that time if not with Grandma ?
Here it is, especially last paragraph: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2015/09/05/family-says-crystal-cortes-is-small-part-of-larger-conspiracy/
***"Aguilar describes his sister as the loving mother of her six-year-old son, a boy the family says is now a key part of the investigation.
Last night the cops came, took my little nephew out of my moms custody claiming that he was involved in this, Aguilar said.
Dallas Police would not comment on whether they interviewed Cortes son, but a spokesperson for the Department of Family and Protective Services confirms the boy is in protective custody.
He is a very intelligent kid, so he would tell them exactly if he was in the car, he would tell them exactly what happened, Aguilar said."***^

So it sounds like the Uncle thinks the boy may have been in the car? Yikes. He might be the biggest victim besides Kendra. :cry:
I'm wondering where BD was going to get the $ to pay CC.
