Included in that oral ruling was an son, award of the couple’s Jeffrey, to Rebecca plaintiff, Eberhard.

She testified further that she and Roth made appellant a joint decision to take Jeffrey into protective custody.

Appellants’ testimonies regarding the willfulness of their actions taken in violation of the visitation order are corroborated by Bentonville Police Officer Kenneth Jordan.

The Child Abuse Reporting Act and DHS are policies designed state, to work with the trial courts this not against courts, as claim. It is appellants inconceivable to this court that would view appellants their determinations of a child’s need for protection chancellor, as above and beyond any order of a when the especially chancellor was given benefit of DHS’s knowledge of the substantiated as reports abuse required DHS policy.
The evidence reveals that Henry started appellant her investigation of Jeffrey’s case in October 1990. She did not file petition Mr. requesting Eberhard’s restraint from Jeffrey until 29, January 1991. Mr. McLaughlin testified such a delay unusual. The evidence further reveals that once aware of the visitation order issued February for the weekend of 17, 1991, February 16 and appellant Henry again delayed her actions. She made no effort to contact Judge Huffman about her concern for the scheduled visitation. She most certainly could have received his attention by filing another or petition motion for reconsideration. She did nothing except initiate protective proceedings a willful violation of the visitation order.
The record reveals that were appellants aware of the lower court’s visitation order and that they willfully interfered with it.
