What's the justification for taking them away this time?

I'd say it has something to do with more of this:

The Medical Kidnap report, which was viewed more than 1 million times, suggests CPS removed the children over home birthing, holistic medicine, and possibly even breastfeeding — but prosecutors cited the family’s numerous contacts with law enforcement.

Prosecutors said law enforcement had encountered the couple 14 times since 2013, and an arrest warrant was issued for Rengo after he failed to complete court-ordered anger management as part of a plea agreement in a domestic violence case.

They also cited mental health issues for Rengo’s father, in addition to their concerns over the couple’s resistance to seeking medical care for their underweight babies and their 1-year-old son’s pneumonia.

I was under the impression that was what sparked the initial conflict, however, and the court ultimately decided to give the children back.

I'll be curious to see what made the court change its mind.

I do not think they like court orders being violated.

Okay. Again, what was violated?

That's what I'm asking.

Did the court rescind the order, and then they fled, or was it the other way around?

I would guess it had something to do with the health and welfare of the children. Living in an environment in which the authorities have visited them 14 times since 2013, it's not difficult to imagine something similar came up.

The article states that no one was home when CPS tried to serve the warrant.

The only thing I read is that a court order was violated. It does not sound like it was rescinded. It is a case with kids - so who knows.

But I would imagine, that the kids were given back to the parents with an understanding (demand?) that certain things occur. If they left the state without notifying CPS (or whoever) I assume there is a crapload of trouble they could get into.

I wonder if a family member alerted the authorities to their location. I believe it was family the first go around that expressed concern.

Who knows. Kids case, so they will be pretty tight lipped.
