There is no standing gag order though, this was asked for by the GAL (guardian ad litem) and she asked for it without notifying the father's lawyer. She also lied and told the judge that she had just found about the interview on the day of the airing when she had found about it 4days previous, she lied and said the father refused to to say if he was giving personal details or not, and he told all the cps people at the conference that he was not.
This order was gotten under lies and the father was never given the chance to protest, and while I'm glad CPS is better where you live here in Indiana we have an awful record of CPS doing too much or too little without justification. It's particularly a problem in this instance where the children are special needs and so get extra money for the county. We also don't have an ombudsmen system, all complaints against DCS are handled by DCS so it's the fox guarding the hen-house. We just recently had a three year old die because she was given back to known abusers by supervisors telling the caseworkers"we don't care what you say, give them back to their mother" and nobody was held accountable, Judge Payne said nobody did anything wrong. So it's more than a little questionable when an article asking for ombudsmen and pointing out problems in the system gets chopped, no?
BTW, Acadia thank you. I saw an image of superman crying over the wreckage of the trade towers and it stuck with me and inspired my image.
