The short version is that a boy who was kidnapped by his babysitter and her mom eight years ago, when he was just eight months old, was found back in March and is finally being allowed to meet with his real parents (his real siblings will come later).

Finding out that the woman you thought was your kind loving mother is really your kidnapper has got to be... well, "confusing" is the only word I can think of, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't really capture it.

This really irritates the heck out of me.

Government nanny-state at its worst.

State District Judge Mike Schneider ordered after a court hearing Wednesday that 8-year-old Miguel Morin remain in foster care until the next court hearing on Jan. 9.

William Thursland, a court appointed attorney for Miguel, said the boy has been told who his biological parents are and the joint therapy sessions that began about a month ago are being used as a way for the boy and his parents to get to know each other.
....
The boy has been in foster care since authorities found him in March living in East Texas with ... (his kidnappers)....
....
She said while it was unusual that about five months passed after Miguel was found before he was allowed to meet with his parents, that came at the recommendation of his therapist due in part to the unusual circumstances of the case.

Some therapist decided that it was better for the boy to wait for five months to meet his parents? That he is so much better off living with foster parents -- who are also strangers -- instead of his actual parents? That his parents need to wait another four months for the next hearing to see if they'll be allowed to have their own child?

This is just flat wrong.
