Ironic lede of the week

Ok, it's from last week, but still...remember those people who had their kids in cages? Their lawyer is looking with a nervous eye to the prosecutor, per the linked AP article

The parents suspected of keeping some of their 11 special-needs adopted children in cages should be able to testify at a custody hearing without fearing they will be criminally charged, their attorney said Friday.

Their fear is, I presume, that they would be locked up in cages of their own.
