She is convinced it shows how right she is and how wrong the police officer was. <br /><br />It hit me that the fact that they weren't staying at their... shelter... for the time being and she wasn't divulging anything about why or where else they were staying, it set things up so that the police would have NO idea on how to get a hold of them. That made the situation even worse for her.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131708997537029150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097344390472384599.post-15968097798204724332015-05-11T07:25:30.045-06:002015-05-11T07:25:30.045-06:00My understanding in general is that police must ha...My understanding in general is that police must have a parent-authorized adult present to interview a child. Frankly, though, this could include a teacher or principal of a school if the child attends school. <br /><br />CPS (CFC in Kentucky) may interview the children without a parent-authorized third party adult. <br /><br /><br />Regarding this particular situation, it is clear that she came out guns flying. Anger, negativity; not speaking reasonably. Not letting him finish talking, jumping to conclusions. <br /><br />As the officer stated over and over and over to her and she refused to hear it - he is legally obligated to investigate any accusations. In this case, both the law and child protective services were involved because the father involved the children in an illegal situation. <br /><br />Firmly standing up for one's rights is very different from being a witch and making it ugly for everyone. Sorry for being so blunt. <br /><br />The audio on this - just the first one - makes me sick to my stomach. Why did she have to set herself up like that? :( <br /><br />Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097344390472384599.post-5225816707000379442015-05-11T06:59:58.375-06:002015-05-11T06:59:58.375-06:00Jessica, not being an American, I don't totall...Jessica, not being an American, I don't totally know these things. :) Now, that the parents can request that someone else be present, does that mean that the cops/CPS *have to* allow that? She seemed to think that by requesting her lawyer be present that the cops had to comply.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131708997537029150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097344390472384599.post-46338568928031898232015-05-10T22:00:56.626-06:002015-05-10T22:00:56.626-06:00I agree - two sides to the story and this one defi...I agree - two sides to the story and this one definitely leans towards "not homschool related or off-grid related". <br /><br />I woud like to add if it is ok though - that it is perfectly reasonable for a parent to request a third party (of the parent's choosing - could be a lawyer, a priest, a family friend, anyone BUT the parent) be present during any questioning of the children. The regulations only state that the children should be questioned without the parent present (because parent's presence might change up the child's responses). So in that regard, it is perfectly acceptable to say "I want my lawyer present for any official questioning."Jessica https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750741589516318310noreply@blogger.com
