Less than three weeks after the court made the restraining order permanent, Mr. Gonzales took the three daughters from in front of the family home without prior approval of their mother. At approximately 7:30 pm, Ms. Gonzales contacted the Castle Rock Police Department and informed them of the restraining order. She requested that the order be enforced and that her children be returned to her immediately.

She again contacted the police and asked that her children be located and returned. The officers refused to take action and again told her to wait and see if her children were returned by 10:00 pm.
