Community support for Lindsay Boone and her children


Community support for Lindsay Boone and her children
The Issue
On March 5, 2025, Lindsay Boone’s four children were removed from their father’s home following allegations of abuse. Although those allegations were directed solely at the father, and no concurrent findings of abuse or neglect were made against Lindsay at the time, the Utah Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) has continued to retain custody of the children—now citing divorce-related conflict as the basis for their continued separation. As a result, these children have been kept from their mother for over three months, despite her long-standing role as their primary caregiver and source of emotional safety.
We, the undersigned, submit this statement in support of Lindsay Boone, a devoted mother who has shown unwavering love, strength, and resilience in the face of profound hardship. We respectfully urge all decision-makers involved in this matter—whether judicial officers, child welfare professionals, or government authorities—to recognize the injustice of removing her children from her care and to prioritize family reunification.
Lindsay has been a loving and attentive parent to her four children. She has provided a safe, stable, and nurturing home environment. Her relationship with each child is marked by emotional availability, consistent support, and genuine joy. Many of us have directly witnessed her children thrive under her care, and we believe that separating them from their mother has caused—and continues to cause—unnecessary harm.
It is clear to anyone who knows this family that Lindsay’s children share a deep, loving bond with their mother. Her home has always been their emotional anchor—a place where they feel understood, supported, and secure. Prolonged separation from her is not only unnatural but actively damaging to their well-being. Children need consistency, connection, and the nurturing presence of a parent who truly sees and advocates for them. Reuniting them with their mother is not merely a matter of fairness—it is a matter of emotional and developmental necessity.
This support statement is not based on sentiment alone, but on direct observations and long-standing relationships. Each signer below attests to Lindsay’s character, her unwavering commitment to her children, and the critical role she plays in their lives.
