Wonder,

Have we SEEN pictures of this "BED in the temple". Was it a single bed or a cot where someone could lay down if the temple service was too long or the person attending was elderly or ill?

Hmmmm... I guess the press release does not sound as good if someone wrote "A small cot was found in the FLDS temple".

That is the trouble will press releases. Sometimes it is just better for the STATE and/or CPS to keep their mouths shut and just collect and present their "evidence" to a court.

Barbara- Allways trying to justify...And if the pictures reveal a nice, plush pillow top, with DNA stains, of a child bride, what will you say then? Oh, the man,(most likely from another state), perhaps happened to slip and fall on the child, (while atttempting to give her aide for her illness), acidently- impregnating her.....Opps!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

Clearly you have not been keeping up. There were no "dna stains" but a long blonde hair from a woman. You may also not have noticed but all those "underage girls" are now being admitted by CPS as legal adults.

you say: "all those "underage girls" are now being admitted by CPS as legal adults."

I guess your version of keeping up includes gross exaggeration ...

If you were paying attention you would know that CPS is calling all but 5 possible adults, but will let the courts decide if the drivers license and birth certificates are "valid." You would also know that the case seems to be moving from "protecting an abused child bride" to checking out FLDS finances. You really don't find that odd?

you say: "to checking out FLDS finances. You really don't find that odd?"

if you were ACTUALLY interested in the FACTS, you'd know that it is THE TRUST that is asking for the financial documents from the state.

What I find odd is that you either read very poorly or think the rest of us do. It's the FLDS trust that is requesting the financial documents from the state since they are being sued by private entities.

Well it seems all cps works the same way. At fightcps you will see many folks saying I don't know why they took my kids. And the plans change all the time and conflict with visits. It is all about bonus fed money. And now many healthy white babies to adopt out. The trickle down theory works for cps. I just wish for the families hurt by this that they recover and never let cps near your future children.They play that card..kids in care so we get your new baby!

Clockwise from top, a family portrait of Joseph Steed Jessop Sr., Lori Jessop and their children; Ziana Glo Jessop, 4; Joseph Edson Jessop, 2; and Joseph Steed Jessop Jr., who turns 1 on Thursday. The FLDS family went to court to block the separation of the mother and infant child.
