Those poor kids. Not sure people realize just what happens in situations where parents get to that level of neglect due to drugs. Kids were probably finding anything they could to eat before asking the teacher. If they were ignoring getting food for the kids can only imagine the other things they were ignoring as well. Hopefully, Minnesota CPS are not push overs like some states are.
BTW, many cps courts are online and his first hearing would have had to be within 72 hours of the kids being removed.
There permeancy schedule states the first judicial hearing on actual permeancy must be in 15 days.
If someone lets me know what county/district he is in I can try to find out if his is televised.
