It's disturbing that the people who are complaining about civil rights abuses and about "families" being torn apart have so little regard for the rights of the children.

Apparently, the "unalienable Rights... of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" only apply to the men in charge of the FLDS sect.

If you're a young 13 y/o girl, you'll marry who they say, when they say, and start having babies as soon as they say. You'll have no right to a proper education. You'll have no access to the outside world. In short, you'll have no right to make ANY decision concerning your own life.

And, if by some miraculous means, someone from the outside world does decide to come to your defense, thousands of people who supposedly care about your rights, will demand that the government return you immediately to that living hell from which you momentarily escaped.

Like rats deserting a sinking ship. They're starting to deny and point fingers at each other.

I'm still amazed at the stories about women "thrown out" of the "church" and told to leave their children and "repent from afar" - and they just do as they're told and leave without their children. That shows just how brainwashed these people are. The mothers complaining now that the state has their children and how it's not fair - but if the leader of their "church" told them to leave without their children, they would just do it, without a fight. This is just a 100 year long brainwashing scheme set up by some old pediphiles - and after 100 yrs it's hard to break.

These officials can lie and misrepresent the truth
without any repercussions. As Americas judiciary
widens the scope of those being able to have immunity
from their fraudulent actions. If they have caused harm to these people, it is true in many cases, that
these potentially corrupt actions by officials, they
cannot be held accountable.
The other issue that can be raised: Why are these
children not getting the opportunity to stay with
their grandparents or extended family, while an ivestigation is in affect. Grandparents should have
these sacred rights, and they should not be mere
privledges rewarded by a santamonious judge.
The under discouraging part of this is that in manh
instances there is enormous ex-parte communication
between CPS and the judiciary.
OH IF ONLY THE DESERET NEWS COULD BUG THAT JUDGES PHONE, you could help every parent that has ever
faced this evil situation.

I agree with Rights of the Children - it's the men who are at fault here. They shouldn't be in a situation where they're controlled and abused.

So tell me: Why is it that the children are the ones incarcerated?

And don't give me that baloney about how they weren't arrested - the fact is, wherever they are, they are not free to leave. Call it what you want - those kids are locked up.

It should have been 416 MEN rounded up by Baptist buses. The children are victims here. In the short term, they should be allowed to keep living their lives (their life is less than idea obviously, but it's the only life they know).

Is there a tunnel under the compound to escape without notice?

Could Sarah have been spirited away via this route?

If Sarah lived in such great fear, she could have been so very freightened once the raid began, that she confessed to Jessop that she had made the
phone calls instigating the raid.

She may have made the phone calls for help, but once it arrived in such an APOCALYPTIC mannor, she may have thought the Gentile's intervention was far worse than her abuse in the family.

Here are a couple other thoughts.

Where are Sarah's hospital records?

Is there a graveyard in the compound?

Grandparents???? They can't even match them to their own parents. The parents may not even be in residence at the ranch. DNA tests have to be performed. There is no other way. One concern not addressed here is the on-going education for these children. Why haven't their text books been brought from the ranch and their classes resumed? This has gone on for two weeks now or more. This is how so many immigrant children have fallen behind in their education. Being dragged from pillar to post. We have the technology today to allow them to pick up their studies where ever they land. These kids can learn simple computer skills very fast. A company could donate a bank of computers for them. Their own teachers could learn along with them if they aren't the ones who are responsible for their abuse.

'Transplant'

In a previous news article it was reported that many of these kids and parrents (especially the girls) never received even a Jr. High School education. Many didn't know who the President of the US was, that man had walked on the moon or other basics of an education. And what education the had received was warpped and inaccurate. They would need to start from scratch on some subjects.

You know, I've heard a lot of talk on here about how "communistic" and the word "nazi" and "gustapo" being used describing our government lately...
But here is a group of people that has a dictatorship ruling them, keeping them in ignorance, and brainwashing them 24-7's since the day they were born. Adolph Hitler believed if you told a lie big enough, loud enough and long enough the people would believe it. Looks like the FLDS uses the same doctrination of its followers. Ignorance is not bliss it is a shame. I feel so sorry for these children who know so little but are entreated by their dictators as mere pawns and zombies. Looks like the communism is not the US Government as polygamists and liberalists believe, but take a real long hard look at the FLDS. Who are the Communists?
God Bless Texas and the USA

We all have freedom to choose. Even the FLDS! I have never been forced to do anything I didn't want to do, besides maybe taking cough medicine so I could sleep at night, and I have been an FLDS member for 32 years. The Truth Will Prevail! No matter how hard the ex members try to poison the World with lies from hell.
