Tales from the Shark Tank

For some months, I have been advising my client in my juvenile case to be patient. Her religion seems to be behind all the shenanigans of child protection, but up until now they’d handled it in a fashion that made it seem at least plausible. I kept telling her to wait; pushed hard enough, resisted long enough, they’d eventually be forced to show their hand.

Now they have. We have the Reunification Plan, which is basically the written document of what my client needs to do to get her children back. It includes sending the children to Bible School. The family is not Christian, the department knows they are not Christian, and the judge (who hasn’t seen this yet) knows it. The judge will be utterly unamused; I know her. The ICLU will be even less so. They’ve finally put it in writing.

They’re mine.
