Steele also said that xrays and a cat scan were done. A doctor, armed with xrays and a cat scan, has determined that a skull fracture exists. Brian admitted to causing other injuries. And then there is the kidnapping.

What's up with Philip Medland, Ruth's father. He bails Ruth out and then skips town. He could have bailed her out alot sooner and spent time with her but he did not. He and his wife have the kids, with the blessing of the Oregon authorities, in England. Ruth states that she has not spoken to the children. She has been out of jail for nearly two weeks. Are her parents refusing to allow her contact with the girls? Haven't heard a peep from the Medlands on what wonderful parents the Christines are.

When the van stopped, Brian Christine held a gun to a state worker’s head...

Lock him up, throw away the key.

There are some (I don't know if they post on FR, though I have seen one or two who seem a bit "out there") who would say that the parents were bravely rescuing their children from the evils of Child Protective Services.

I'm glad to see that sometimes it's clear that CPS isn't always the getsapo some make them out to be.

Brian admitted to causing other injuries.

Bullshit he did. He would have plead guilty to the charges against him if that were so.

"Ruth Christine has given birth two to more children. Brian Christine remains incarcerated. "

Are they his two kids?

“Our hope is that the jury is going to see this young couple for what they really are – a set of parents that have been wronged by a rogue state agency,” Steele said. “That’s exactly what I’m willing to call Services to Children and Families in Oregon. That’s what CPS in Oregon is called. They change the name every time they get a bad enough reputation. They give it a new name so as to evade that reputation.”

Almost like shape-shifters.

I don't know enough about this case to make a judgement either way, but does anyone have any information about the case in Texas where CPS defied a court order to return children?

It would be awful hard not to go postal if a government agency started pulling garbage like that. Even after you got your kids back, the bureaucrats who took them and refused to give them back might not be safe.
