I HOPE THE JUSTICES THAT RULE AGAINST THE CHILDREN AT THIS COMPOUND CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO PROVE THIS SETTING IS IMMORAL AND ELEGAL. NO BIRTH CERTIFICATES, UNDER AGE MARRAGES, RAPENT SEX WITH MANY SO CALLED WIVES, WOMEN ON WELFARE TO FOOT THE BILLS. YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. MAY THE JUSTICES BEWARE.

FINALLY I WANT TO SAY THAT I AM NOT ON A SOAP BOX TO CONDEM RELIGION. BUT LOOK AROUND THE WORLD AND MOST OF THE PROBLEMS CAN BE TRACED TO SOME FUNDAMENTAL BELEAF. IT IS EVEN PREVENLENT IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

There are numerous items missing from the timeline. How about 2004, when Flora Jessop and the local sheriff had some propoganda time in the local media, fortelling the future? How about late March, when Rosita Swinton (aka Sarah aka Rose) called Flora Jessop for help with her fake abuse story, and then called CPS with her polished story of abuse? How about interjecting the timeline for all those anti-FLDS book deals? Recent allegations and even convictions of people connected to TX CPS on child rape and abuse charges?

Everyone wants to look at just a big eyeball on a canvas, but you need to step back and see the whole portrait.
And when you do, you may be shocked at who you see in the painting.

I am not FLDS, but I am a concerned father of 6 children. It is about time Texas woke up and learned you cannot trample on the civil rights of the American People. What the hell was CPS thinking? They lost all credibility when they used the broad method they did. It is very hard to prove abuse when you are seen as the abusers. I am sure this is not over and CPS will draw out this debacle for weeks to come. After all there is BIG money in our social programs. The more children on the roles the more money is brought into the organization. Litigation will go on for years and the only looser will be the Texas tax payer when large sums of monies are paid out to the families for the abuse of their civil rights. Get ready Texas - overhaul your social system - especially CPS!

How about we eliminate CPS along with the TTC and Rick Perry and Grandma what'shernames!!
They are all crooks, picking on a religious organization! What will it take to stop the government from running rough shod over We The People????
