Guardians say their desire to raise boy overlooked by state
When Lani and Sama Ete became 9-year-old Saul’s guardians, they expected there might be a few rough patches as they settled in as a family.
What they didn’t expect is that when Saul became a teenager and got into trouble, they would be shut out of the boy’s life by the state. Now, the Etes are battling the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) in court over its decision to not return Saul to their care and say they were unaware that they had limited rights as guardians.

Rightly so! A Guardian is not a parent and cannot have parental rights.
Guardianship is a job and being professional means knowing one's place.
There's a line not to be crossed between offering lots of affection to a child and smothering it with love.
These guardians did a bad job of the kid anyway, as it got into trouble.
