More information has been released about an “off grid” Kentucky family whose 10 children were seized by authorities – and the case apparently has little to do with their unconventional education choices.
Joe and Nicole Naugler, who blog about their lifestyle, face a court
hearing Monday to determine whether their children will remain in foster
case after authorities were called to investigate the family’s living
conditions.
The children were removed from their custody last week and Nicole
Naugler was arrested when Breckenridge County sheriff’s deputies and
social workers visited the family’s 27-acre homestead.
The couple and their supporters claim the family was unfairly
targeted because they believe in “unschooling” their children by
allowing them to learn through natural experiences such as outdoor play
and household chores, and an online fundraiser has garnered more than $38,000 in donations.
However, the couple posted a copy of the complaint
on their Facebook page showing that authorities were concerned that the
family was apparently living in a makeshift tent without running water
amid garbage, broken glass, and nails.
