>parents lose custody for 2 months. Horror story.
If you read the rest of the article, you will realize that this was the absolute happy path in that kind of situation. That's the real horror story: that the default path involves stuff like losing custody forever, incarceration, suicide, divorce etc.
Yes, after discovering hundreds of families living much worse situations, I consider myself as one of the lucky few. I'm grateful for that and this is why I can spend so much energy ensuring it doesn't affect too many other families in the future.
I'm happy for you -- the parents -- and your son. Thank you for your dedication. Wish you the best.
Watch the Netflix documentary Taking Care of Maya for a sobering and ongoing look into this.
