They participated in the illegal strip-search of children whose mother went to get muffins while her children slept in her car on a cool day in 2017. He wrote:<\/p><p>Act One: An \u201cattentive and loving\u201d mother gets muffins for her children. Act Two: There\u2019s a knock on her door and a threat by the government to take away her children. Act Three: Her children are strip searched without cause. America\u2019s founding generation may never have imagined a Cabinet for Health and Family Services. But they knew their fair share of unwelcome constables. And they added a Fourth Amendment to our Constitution to protect against this three-act tragedy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/district-courts\/kentucky\/kywdce\/3:2017cv00730\/104992\/86\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/district-courts\/kentucky\/kywdce\/3:2017cv00730\/104992\/86\/\">Curry v.
