It never fails to amaze me what we learn due to some of these cases. I never knew that was even an option. I guess I also do not see why one would adopt a teen before having that teen around for awhile to be sure it was a fit they all could handle or maybe fostering before making it permanent? If they got her as a younger child and then she was a problem when older, I would then say well that at times happens with biological children too, it is not a reason to "return" them.
Don't want to derail the thread, but IMO if you want a child you stick with it through all the problems that come your way, just like all the parents do daily. It's not butterflies and roses all the time, but that's called life. I didn't know that they can give them back and it disgusts me. Rant over
Not wanting to derail either, just want to say I agree. Do they need a receipt like a return to a store? Smh.Don't want to derail the thread, but IMO if you want a child you stick with it through all the problems that come your way, just like all the parents do daily.

I emailed them.
It was quite awhile ago, but I do remember the teen and she was quite manipulative. She may have also accused one of their male family members of wrongdoing, too. It was very sad all the way around. I remember my friend was heartbroken. Later on, she took care of the girl's child for her, so the door wasn't completely shut.
My best guess right now is that something happened that morning. That's why the other kids were all ushered out of the house and left somewhere else.
Definitely a possibility. I am watching a Duty Ron one off and on that I missed when it was live yesterday while doing some other things. He is retired NYPD and he and another retired LE feel they never let Bakersfield. He also states there have been several warrants executed in Bakersfield which from anything I have seen is not common knowledge and allegedly that comes from the Bakersfield Chief. He also now has talked with the Cali City Chief and although he did not question him regarding things he knows cannot be shared, they connected about LE in general, careers, and some other things and he still feels they never made it to Cali City. Of course that is just his own opinion which he makes clear. It carries a bit of weight with me though and he does know the recent coverage regarding the surveillance video.
My only questioning on this would be....if they are going to "coach" the other children, wouldn't you coach them in regards to your original story? They'd be telling them to say that they saw them that day, the 21st, wouldn't you think?
True but if they were scheduled to go to grandma's they couldn't use the 21st and if they sent them off for a reason so they could stage and call, they couldn't use that date either with the other kids. I get your point though and it's a good one and it could definitely be the case. Assuming the Chief did in fact say this, it is interesting that it is not specified if the other kids saw them in the van or where on the 19th... In the home? In the van? At granny's? And they sure appear to come home with NO children on the 19th...

I wonder why they think it’s possible that the kids are in California City?Police use imaging devices on landscape in search of missing Cal City boys
The California City Police Department returned to the home of missing Orrin and Orson West to use imaging devices to take photos of several feet of ground on the property.Police use imaging devices on landscape in search of missing Cal City boys
The California City Police Department returned to the adoptive parents' home of missing Orrin and Orson West to use imaging devices to take photos of several feet of ground on the property.
Police have not named any suspects or persons of interest, but the boys' biological mother Ryan Dean said she blames the adoptive parents.
On Monday, a group of family members from the boys' biological family stating they received reports of activity at the adoptive father Trezell West's family home in Bakersfield. The biological family said a confrontation occurred and the Bakersfield Police Department was called, who stated they were not involved in the case as it is under the Cal City Police Department's jurisdiction.
Nothing of significance was found during the search of the Cal City home Monday, according to California City Police Chief Jon Walker.

I wonder the same. He told the Youtuber I mentioned just above that they are somewhat going through the check list, crossing Ts and dotting is. Like showing that they are not possibly at the last place reportedly seen, etc.
Again, security footage is nothing we didn't already know. But now the detectives are commenting on it so it's "new". But they also now say that the other children did NOT see the boys the day they disappeared, or the day before.

Four-year-old Orrin West and three-year-old Orson West from California City have been missing now for five weeks now.
The California City Police Chief is now speaking on security camera footage from a neighbor, from the day the boys went missing. Police Chief Walker says the security cam footage is consistent with the statements from Trazell and Jacqueline West.
The security camera footage shows on Dec. 21 at 5:33 P.M., Trazell starts looking for the boys around the neighborhood.
Jon Walker, Police Chief for the California City Department, says the boys' adoptive parents claim they left their California City house on Dec. 19 with their six children, to go do Christmas shopping in Bakersfield.
Security camera footage from a neighbor shows an adult holding the door open while four children go into the van. Then later that day two adults, which appear to be Trazell and Jacqueline West, come back to the house without any kids.
Chief Walker says the parents claim they dropped off four of their children, not including Orrin and Orson, at a family member's home that day. Walker says Dec. 19 was the last day the other four children say they saw Orrin and Orson.
Attention please!!!I emailed them.
That is very interesting and actually fits what I thought from the start. I did not want to accuse some reporter or anything but this was put out when he had footage of all else he referred to with the chief commenting. Never was this part shown. No one turns off their camera or recording talking to the Chief. I also found it very very hard to believe he would ever comment on what the other children/minors said. Maybe one day if it gets to court, etc. Not otherwise.Attention please!!!
While I did NOT receive a reply from BakersfieldNOW, the bolded statement from @SheWhoMustNotBeNamed has since been removed from the article.
I respond to many journalists where they blur the line of opinion & fact so it needed to be addressed & apparently my email was read and taken seriously.
