It is dispectible that such a place as CALFARLEYS would intrap itself in such a fiasco as the STATE OF TEXAS has brought on itself. Just another added expense to a string of many that will befall the tax payers of such a fine state. Just another example of why the UNITED STATES isn`t ready for a woman PRESIDENT.
UNFOUNDED phone calls, paid informants, no charges filled, jourualist spreading hear-say, CPS invading homes, kidnapping children the list goes on an on. It is time for the Public Tax Payers of Texas to come forward an say enough is enough.
All this proves as with the catholics as well, just how fragile our christian an religious structure really is, will your church or denomination be next??

I am happy to hear the boys/kids are safe and enjoying playing together.

The video of the interior of the YFZ Ranch was astonishing! I did not see any evidence of children living there. There were no toys, no crayons, no children's pictures, no balls, no proof of a "child friendly environment".

I would hope all of the children are professionally assessed in issues of academics, medical, social, and developmental needs. To offer appropriate services and education to meet their individual needs. If the children have had nothing to play with, and there has been no official oversight of their educational milestones - were they being used for child labor at the YFZ ranch?

The tax payers have already been paying for these children in the form of welfare payments, food stamps and medical insurance. In foster care the State can ensure the children are the recipients of the State benefits, instead of FLDS leaders.

The children will need to remain in foster care as the State cannot return children to people who cannot prove their the biological parents.

Interesting to see if the children display some Attachment issues - much like ophans in Buddapest- no primary care provider.

Having delt with the cps in texas and having been a long time resident there I feel I can speak with some confidence.

First I will bet a dollar there was never a "little" girl, if there was it was the sheriff's daughter.

It is my opinion that unless they come up with the complaintant, they should let everybody go with an apology and hope they don't sue.

Seperation of church and state is a farse, the only issue the state should be involved in is protecting any member that want's to leave safe passage.

I don't agree with the southern babtist, or any other organized religion for that matter, but if you want to live under the kings rule that is the freedom we allow you here. Hundreds of kingdoms, under one rule of law, or you can just live your life to the fullest with out the fear of goverment or anybody else interfearing (not misspelled) in your private life.

Just because you put the label "religion" on it dosen't mean it's right. We are a country of laws. If anyone breaks those laws, they should be held accountable. They should not be able to get away with breaking the law by hiding behind religion. Also I haven't seen an article that addresses the issue of why there are so few boys aged 14 to 17. One article said the older men didn't want to have to compete with the younger boys. So what did they do with them?

Be just and send these boys home.
