Kentucky ‘free range’ family loses custody of 10 kids over apparent ‘unschooling’
Examiner ^ | 5/8/2015 | Travis Gettys

Posted on 05/09/2015 5:53:54 AM PDT by cuban leaf

It is every parent’s worst nightmare, and according to a report on Police State Daily and the Medical Kidnapping site; for one homeschooling family in Kentucky, it has come true. On May 6, Kentucky homesteading Naugler family had their ten children taken into the custody of the state and are now fighting to regain custody and to prove their innocence.

According to the family’s facebook blog page, Blessed Little Homestead, and other sources above, the police showed up, asked to see the children, and when the mother asked to see a warrant and what the charges were, the sheriff proceeded to explain how it would “come down” if she did not comply and that there had been an anonymous complaint filed with Child Protective Services that he needed to investigate. Eventually, she agreed for the two older children to wave to the officer and was then free to go. At that point, she drove away with her two oldest children and was pulled over.

According to the audio of the incident, she was then asked to release the children into their custody. She refused, but the children were still taken. As they were taken, she reacted with heart-wrenching screams as she was being cuffed and arrested. On later audio, her husband shows up on the scene and asks where his children and wife are and records the transaction as he is told to bring his other 8 children to a specified location by 10 a.m. or he would be arrested and the children taken into state custody. He complied, and all ten of the children are now in state custody. Nicole Naugler also blogs at homestead mama.

Unschooling and homeschooling are very different.

Looks like a very healthy family - and independent of gov’t control = their “crime”

I hope enough money gets contributed to fight the Gestapo....

The mommy police is no joke, and without a doubt this woman drove them over a well worn edge with her utter disregard for their authority over her. Nonetheless, you should have an idea where your kids are because they are young, inexperienced, and tend to do stupid stuff, we are not spiders.

If you do something heinous, you can bet there will be someone waiting in the wings to push their agenda over it.

it appears the children might not have been taken because of home schooling but because of dangerous living conditions

Sounds plausible. The article is dreadfully written -- perhaps on purpose.

To explain the two in simplicity:

Home-schooling is where you have a curriculum, text-books, and you the parent go through a planned training/schooling session with the kid each day. It might be an hour....it might be eight hours. Some testing procedure will occur, and you can certify the kid to some level and show his/her progress.

Unschooling is where you have no curriculum, rarely utilize text-books, and the kid just accidentally picks up what knowledge he acquires. Maybe a really bright smart kid with positive reinforcement around him (academic/smart parents....might come out ahead, but that’s probably one kid out of a hundred). The Unschooled kid doesn’t ever get tested and you can’t certify him to anything.

When the long nose of society enters the tent, we all know that the end of Constitutional Governance is near. Case in point, and they didn’t even need a warrant, just a little intimidation was enough to trump human rights.

If you look at the first comment to the link you see what is going on.

These kids are living feral, no utilities, inadequate “shelter”, specifically they are living in makeshift tents. No sanitation, no medical care, no dental care, no clean clothes, no clean dishes, inadequate food, they are living like cavemen. These parents are complete loons and the state took too long to rescue these kids.

I read this on a site not permitted to be posted here.

The point being missed (without reading all the comments at this moment) is how they were singled out.

Their postings to FB should serve as a warning to EVERYONE using that NSA tool...

This scenario used to be relegated to Europe, Germany in general.

Becoming far too common here, which is very telling.

All factors taken into consideration, it’s a harbinger of what’s to come.

They say ‘ISIS’ is the enemy; well...my belief is that the truth is, indeed, in an acronym(s).

I’m curious about the accusations that they were essentially ‘camping’ 24/7.

If that’s the case, then how was the mom so active on the internet? How did she FB and blog and write articles?

Scrolling down the article to the comments section, it appears the children might not have been taken because of home schooling but because of dangerous living conditions.

I’m not sure which is the true scenario, but the article is vague on the facts.

...

There’s always two sides to the story.

I’m sorry to say, that also applies to Free Republic.

In fact, I bet they follow and monitor us here a LOT more than Face Book.

Most people here are wise to their deceit, and to them, that’s dangerous. If the S really HTF, how many of us would be rounded up?

The extent I will go to facebook is:

Cookies blocked, no account for f/b to login to when I visit the link. I can see very little but I WILL NOT LET ‘THEM’ TRACK ME.

They do not live in stick supported tarped hovel in the winter in Kentucky. It gets down to zero in the winter. CPS is spending a ton of money housing these 10. I kind of hope the kids are prepared to be pains to someone.

No offense, but if you think a diploma from a public school guarantees some level of acedemic competence, you are sadly mistaken. Public schools regularly grant diplomas to “students” where “One kid might read at the 3rd grade level and the next kid might read at the 9nd grade level. One kid might have a 12th grade grasp of math and the next kid might have the 4th grade grasp of math.”

Unschooling is certainly not my preferred method, but at least the children aren’t being indoctrinated under the guise of “education.” When a public school teacher is brought up on charges for constant failure, then I will believe the state cares about education. Until that happens, every “educational” kidnapping is patently a witch hunt.
