She said she personally viewed the family’s legal paperwork.

School leaders didn’t just hear about it secondhand.

Stenvik said staff from Liam’s school visited the home after the detention to support the family.

And it wasn’t just Liam impacted.

Stenvik described a middle school student in the same district returning home to discover his father and brother had been taken.

A family doesn’t absorb something like that quietly.

A school doesn’t either.

Marc Prokosch, a lawyer representing the Ramos family, said he still wasn’t sure of the exact current whereabouts of Liam and his father.

Based on experiences with other clients, he believed they were in Texas in a family holding cell.
