If you are truly interested in finding out what is now happening in this incident....Read some print at wikipedia. The mothers have been threatened with arrest for waving at friends. Some state workers were sent home due to "too much compassion" for these young chidren.
The teen moms are terrorized also. Jeez I thought this was for their benefit. These babies are being tormented most. Read some new facts on this. All this for what? To save teen mothers? The babies are being put into foster homes?

I do wonder how these children have fared in foster care. I would like to have them asked, and read their responses.

Has there been any kind of welfare fraud? These men with many many children should not expect the government to support their children. They are not thoughtless teenage boys Do these men honestly believe their own children are not their moral equivalent? Do they feel entitled to slight on say an emergency room visit, which can come to big bucks. Can you imagine the poor insurance company, if they come to them for a group policy? Shots can be expensive.

Have many of them come down with dieases besides chicken pox? I do understand that some kind of medical care is not given? Our modern medical system does not fit the needs of this ereligious sect.

I do think they should generally be with their mothers.

For years I worked in a county hospital maternity ward where girls, 12 - 16 would deliver babies. Almost all were on welfare. Some fathers had several girls pregnant at the same time. Many mothers had multiple kids by different fathers. And yet, I never saw tanks with guns or cops with flack jackets go thru the streets rounding up the children--as they did a LFZ. Double standard? Political posturing? Just wondering.

Firstly Rozita should go directly to jail for the sheer anquish created on the children forceably removed from their parents. Secondly the authorities who gave the orders to raid the place should be terminated from their jobs for not following appropriate proto-call and common sense.

Yes Muslims do inflict sex on their children to them known as a wife, we call it rape they call it men have the authority over women, I wonder if Rozita made a call on that as well. Afghanistan is trying to pass a law presently allowing men to rape their wife of any any age ,they marry them very young there and usually more than one, try four wives actually. One of Mohammads wives was only 12.

I wonder if Rozita is a Muslim?
