Our friends who live just down the road from us have had all 7 of their children unjustly taken from them by the CPS. They are conservative Christian homeschoolers. The situation is not looking good, but the deal is not sealed yet- they may yet be able to get them back. Please, if you could spare a few prayers for them, I know they would be eternally grateful.

On the way. How awful. Encourage them to make noise and bring publicity to it.

Many prayers for them. This is my worst nightmare. Ours too. It's been a real shock, and a wake up call to us. We've always known how rotten CPS is, but to see this happen so close to home, to our friends.... we have been shaken.

Every case of CPS among traditionalists, that I personally know about firsthand, has been in your general region. I would never have expected that from a conservative state.

Oh no! Are you in the US? Are they HSLDA members or is HSLDA already involved?

Though I will say that Kansas fares better than our neighbor, Missouri, when it comes to CPS crimes in general, from what I have gathered. We've considered moving to Missouri on a few occasions and have opted out for that reason.

The charge against them doesn't have anything to do with schooling... "on paper." I don't believe that the CPS would be interested in them at all if they weren't super conservative homeschoolers, though. This isn't the first bogus claim they've had to deal with from the CPS.

HSLDA does fight for homeschoolers involved in CPS issues based on a case by case basis. If they are members they should call them immediately. If they are not members, they should call and ask them if they can join and get help. Right now, other than prayers, they need quality legal help, and the HSLDA organization is the best source of that for cases involving homeschoolers, even if not directly related to homeschooling.

Someone told me it is because the states have a huge budget for this stuff compared to other states.

Prayers are needed now more than ever. Just got ahold of their oldest son (who is above the age of 18, so wasn't taken). He said his parents are in jail, and all 7 kids have been put into the foster care system. Lord, have mercy.
