Thanks, that paints quite a different and better picture. It seems homeschooling was legal and the parents had a very good reason to do it even if it wouldn't be (the upcoming move to IN). I fail to understand why they wouldn't comply when the state started to demand that their son visits a 'normal' school though. They fought a dangerous battle with a state they planned to leave. I wouldn't have dared to do that, the minimum damage would've been a hefty fine, the maximum .. happened. At least I'm far more sympathetic after reading this timeline than after that OP's link..
