Nye grants in part a family's motion for partial summary judgment, denies a detective's motion for summary judgment, and grants a social worker's motion for summary judgment following a neighbor's report to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare about a child's injury, which led to the removal of the children from the home due to the dirty state of the home. The detective "violated the [parents’] Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments by removing the children without a warrant." The parents "may also claim damages for the constitutional violations arising from the post-hearing forensic medical exams" of the children, which were done without the parents' consent. The detective is not protected by qualified immunity. The social worker "did not play an integral role in the warrantless removal of the children from the home."
