Two points seem to be getting missed:
- Kayla's parents are or were already foster parents. I am 90% sure of that. I do not know if that status has since lapsed for her mother, or whether it includes her now step-father. I know this because Nick has discussed one of Kayla "siblings" who was actually a foster sibling. Nick said that. It was an ugly story. The kid is now an adult. I believe he discussed it on a summer Locals show from his deck. (I also believe the foster status has been mentioned on this thread a million posts ago. Kayla was in the wedding party for a former foster sib or something.) When I read the leaked CPS court document, I wondered if the foster parents present were, in fact, Kayla's parents considering they may hold that status. It's an odd position for CPS to be in - needing to vet the parents of junkies when they're already foster parents - but perhaps it made their job easier. I find it hard to believe that Kayla's parents would blow off that hearing.
- Nick has SAID the kids are okay "NOW" (paraphrasing) in response to a question from a fan. This means to me that they are with family. He would never say that if they were with a random foster family. I'm looking for the source and will edit or post if I find it. He was answering either a Locals question or a Superchat from one of the very recent streams. The Mustang stream, I think,? Perhaps someone will find it before me.
Or Nick is just a liar...
It is not worth much time trying to parse what he says given that court documents and other more reliable sources are available.
I'm convinced the children are with their maternal grandmaw and step grandpaw. They are in the same state as the children, where the children already have a life, friends, and familiarity with the area. MN CPS is not about to ship those children across the entire United States, not unless they have no other choice. The best thing for the children is to look out for their emotional and physical well being.
What would be better to you if you were 16, 14, 7, or 6 (I am making an educated guess on their appx ages because I don't want to read the full dox on them and frankly don't care all that much about their exact age, it is irrevalent) and your parents and 9 year old sister were doing coke?
Getting hauled across the country to be with grandparents you hardly see, in a state you seldem go to, and have no friends there?
OR
Stay in the same area you have almost always known and live with the grandparents you visit more often and keep some semblince of stability and normalcy in your crumbling world, and keep your friends.
I believe the children have some say in their placement, but I may be wrong. I don't have any personal interaction with CPS or foster care
Nick's parents maintain a house close by in the state. They also have more money and watch the children for weeks at a time during the summer. They were also in town prior to the arrest helping with the children driving schedule. Nick's father was at the hearing.
There is also indication that Nick has drawn back from social association with his local in-laws via the decrease in social interaction between his wife and his children and nieces and nephews. There is also the fact that Kayla's sister reported ti her pastor some concerns.
It is speculation where they are, but far from certain.
Yes they do, in the leaked court doc it states that the kids (at least the ones ages 10+) have accessed their right to an attorney. The kids have a guardian ad litem who advocates what they believe the best interest of theI children is, which is after talking to the kids and collaterals. They also have an attorney who advocates for what the children want regardless of whether that attorney believes it is their 'best interest'.
The GAL is court appointed representation as a matter of course.
This does not mean that the children ASKED for a lawyer.
