Interesting comments in this article: Government delays hearing into seizure of Jehovah Witness sextuplets

"Three of the four surviving babies were seized by the ministry over the parents' refusal to allow blood transfusions."

"The lawyer for the family says court precedent dictates the parents be given a chance to appeal that decision, but the children were taken before that was allowed to happen."

"In a surprise move, the government then handed control over the children's medical futures back to the parents as their lawyer showed up at court to argue the decision."

All of this, to me, speaks volumes. They knew what they did was wrong as evidenced by their surprise move of returning the children to parental care when the lawyer showed up.
