Regardless of the (shameful) content, for a site that calls itself reason.com, this is quite sensationalist writing.

I heard the inside story is that CPS just has a grudge against her because she's a radical freelance climate science consultant.

Hard to put it better than C. S. Lewis did 50+ years ago:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Some one needs to sue the pants off the police dept and charge them with kidnapping. Like the dad said, same as the Soviet Union govt. Absurd.

For what it's worth, the couple was cleared in that case.

The detail in the Reason.com article is lacking. The article below has far more information.
