Yesterday a Texas appeals court finally put a stop to the high-handed seizure of 400+ children in Eldorado. The Court said there was simply no evidence that the boys or the very young kids–infants and toddlers–were in such immediate danger so as to justify their transfer into foster care pending the outcome of on-going legal proceedings.
Eugene Volokh notes that criminal charges remain a possibility. Yes, let the investigation continue. But let’s keep the presumption of innocence intact and await some clear evidence.
