No one fucked with his children until
after he started this crusade, so that doesn't wash for me either. Also there's been no proof the CPS call was made by a bad actor, and if you check Ethan's thread from around the time it happened, he was happily talking about his household being covered in literal dogshit due to his negligence that gave the whole family some kind of stomach bug, not to mention popping his crews adderall prescriptions on camera.
Look maybe the CPS call was total bullshit by leftists, and maybe that is his main animating factor in prosecuting this crusade now, but Ethan's cried wolf too any times for me not to think this has all been for incredibly self-serving reasons.
