Couple whose 2 sons were briefly taken by state lose appeal

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A couple whose two young sons were taken away by the state for several months in 2000 over a doctor's disputed abuse opinion lost a bid on Monday to reinstate a lawsuit against the state child welfare agency.

The state Appellate Court rejected an appeal by former Newtown residents Michele and Craig Sienkiewicz, whose baby son had multiple bone fractures.
