Good point. Dad probably was just a sperm donor. I feel like this story is a bleeding heart story to show bad Homeschooling mom. It reminds me of the woman in Arizona who is being deported.....supporters say she didn’t do anything wrong.......they conveniently leave out that she has a felony. There is more to this story and I would be that the woman was not Homeschooling her kids adequately.
Sounds to me like separation or divorce in the cards or in the works and punish the kids and the conservative parent as a by-product.
