  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Bethphage
Bethphage was a place in ancient Israel, mentioned as the place from which Jesus sent the disciples to find the mule upon which he would ride into Jerusalem.
Omedelena alleged that Bethphage’s and Denver Options’ purported reason for removing J.C. and R.M. from her care and terminating the ITDS contract -- to protect J.C. and R.M. from neglect -- was a mere pretense to prevent her from contracting with ITDS and to protect their own economic self-interest.
Similarly, Bethphage contends that because it has a statutory duty to ensure the safety of developmentally disabled persons and to report any instances of neglect, abuse, or mistreatment, it had an unqualified right to remove J.C. and R.M. from Omedelena’s care, and therefore its conduct was not improper.

  No. 00CA1640. Omedelena v. Denver Options, Inc. - March 14, 2002 - Colorado Court of Appeals Opinions
Omedelena alleged that Bethphage’s and Denver Options’ purported reason for removing J.C. and R.M. from her care and terminating the ITDS contract -- to protect J.C. and R.M. from neglect -- was a mere pretense to prevent her from contracting with ITDS and to protect their own economic self-interest.
Similarly, Bethphage contends that because it has a statutory duty to ensure the safety of developmentally disabled persons and to report any instances of neglect, abuse, or mistreatment, it had an unqualified right to remove J.C. and R.M. from Omedelena’s care, and therefore its conduct was not improper.
Denver Options and Bethphage nevertheless argue that they were privileged, as a matter of law, to interfere with Omedelena’s contract with ITDS because they were acting to protect the welfare of J.C. and R.M. We are not persuaded.
