There investigators found a pattern of 13-14 year old girls were married off. and inpregnanted. That is what led them for removing ALL 401 children from the compound.
So. Those that are crying that this si foul? There was a patter, and strong evidence that these authoritues found, of 13-14 year olds married, and sexually abused.
Sorry for typos was trying to type as fast as CNN was reporting this.
"WHERE WAS CPS?!?! THEY KNEW, WHY DIDN"T THEY DO ANYTHING???"
but the next day they are in the news for trying to take a child away from his parents because they don't wan't him to get Chemo, or a blood transfusion and the public cries out...
"CPS IS OUT OF CONTROL!!! WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS WRONG!!!"
Can you have it both ways???
The evangelicals, particularly Baptists have unwittingly been a pawn in this game, hating Mormons and FLDS as they do. The day is coming when Baptists will preach against homosexual partnerships and marriage and their ministers will be dragged off to jail and their churches will be closed down for civil rights violations. Then they will understand.
No one is defending underaged marriage, but Texas is a perfect example of how state laws about what defines consent can change overnight. Polygamy is against the law but so is illegal immigration. Which is a greater threat to our nation? Why are the state and federal governments not rounding up, jailing and deporting illegal aliens in such "raids" and putting their "American" children in foster care? The law is the law, right?
My friend I am a Baptist, although the only 'title' that I am concerned with is that of 'Christian'; I can promise you that I do not hate LDS nor FLDS. I love everyone, as Christ has commanded us to do. Many people do not seem to understand that disagreeing with doctrines does not equate to 'hate'.
I can also tell you that as a Bible-believing Christian, I would consider it high honor to be 'dragged off to jail' for my beliefs, as my life belongs to Jesus Christ; He paid a remarkable price for it. If preaching against sin becomes illegal in this nation, let them come for us. If Almighty God is for us, who can stand against us?
The local Baptist church was simply helping with transport and sheltering these folks as they were brought out.

Marleigh Meisner, spokeswoman for Texas Child Protective Services, addresses the press in a packed room in San Angelo, Texas, on Monday. FLDS women and children were brought to San Angelo while multiple law enforcement agencies searched the YFZ ranch for an allegedly abused 16-year-old girl. Meisner announced that all 401 children from the ranch have been removed from their parents and are now in temporary state custody.
