ICWA to the rescue?
Kansas judge refuses to bow down after taking a Colorado family’s children.
Kind of surprised I hadn't heard about this Raymond Schwab case before now. I stumbled across this story somehow, and couldn't help but keep reading about the stupidity of this case.
In a nutshell: a father moved from Kansas to Colorado so he could try medical marijuana to treat his Iraq-war related PTSD, left his kids with mother-in-law back in Kansas, who reported his marijuana use to Kansas police; now a Kansas judge won't let him have his kids.
Down near the end, it reveals that the mother may get tribal help, thanks to ICWA.
