The Mrs- That sounds to me like a desperate parent talking (without the assistance of an attorney). He is saying whatever was wrong, they want to right. It was never their intent to break the law (if they have).
It is likely the same reaction any other mom or dad would have if their children were ripped from them without warning and kept by the court system because the court thought "something" wasn't right.
I have done a tiny bit of research on the case and will be back later with some interesting and revealing information.
