we're in the home of carol parrot in Sonoma County. She believes that Sonoma County authorities have taken her Children away because of her sexual relationship with another woman. She wants the California Supreme Court to give her Children back. When was the last time you saw your

00:00:24.390 - 00:00:49.500

Children carol? The first weekend of august? Why do you believe that the courts have taken your Children away because of your relationship? Would you go into some detail on that? What has happened? Um, well, one judge has um said to me that he will not allow

00:02:03.770 - 00:02:31.540
