I agree that she should have allowed them to process her. Still, it seems a little unclear about why they arrested her in the first place. If a couple armed police came to my house to take my kids into custody, I don't know if I would calmly go off with them and allow my kids to be taken to juvenile hall or social services or whatever. I just can't say one way or the other -- but we don't know the whole story, except that in it, nowhere was she accused of physically abusing her children. Short of physical abuse, I give parents total leeway in how they raise their children.

I don't think she is the only homeschooler in VT so I can reasonably assume that she did something extraordinary to get this reaction.
