I suppose one of the great joys of dealing in child protective services where there are lots of children is the opportunity to defend the same claims each time a child reaches the age of majority and can sue. Today the 10th Circuit helped to put some of that joy away when it concluded that a suit on the same claims and facts by younger siblings that was previously dismissed when older siblings first brought suit could similarly be dismissed. In addition, the court noted that in dismissing the earlier suits it had mentioned that some claims sought to be litigated had not been well pled so was not surprised when those claims showed up in the younger children's claims. But, these too failed for various reasons. https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinions/19/19-1391.pdf Charles W.
