How is that for an excuse to keep the children longer???

with respect to ^^^
this snippet on what it took for the parents of 4 of the aforementioned 12 to get to see their kids....

The negotiations went on for more than five hours, Haas said, and involved representatives of the Texas Attorney General's Office. In the end, a written agreement was hammered out and approved by the judge - but a caseworker still refused to turn the couple's children over to them. The reasons shifted: a media gag order was needed; the temporary home had to pass inspection first; confusion over who agreed to the deal.
It took almost an hour and three trips back to see the judge before CPS released the children...

so....after a court ruling which, in a nutshell, said "there's absolutely no evidence you've abused your kids and no reason for the State to have them," it took the jessops 5 hours of haggling to get to see their kids under State supervision....
guilty until proven innocent, and then some.
