These people are going to be having nightmares about this horrible event for the rest of their lives...
That evil Judge Walther is obviously not done terrorizing them yet. She should be kicked off her bench.

>>If anything higher than a 1% rate justifies mass seizure, maybe CPS should hit your neighborhood next. After all, just ONE instance of abuse is unacceptable, wouldn't you agree?

1% is 1 in 100. Let's also be clear that we are discussing child rape. Let's say I lived in a neighborhood with 400 children.

Let's also say we were a very close-knit group and all our activities revolved around the leadership of a single individual. Let's also say that individual was convicted of child-rape and was actively teaching that others in our neighborhood should follow his example. Additionally, let's say that 3 young girls turned up pregnant - and almost everyone in the community looked confused by the suggestion that there was anything at all wrong with the situation. Most importantly, let's say that while everyone knows the abuse is occurring, not one single person steps up to report it.

In that case, CPS should raid my neighborhood. Fortunately, my neighborhood doesn't actually function that way. If any one of us suspected child rape, we'd call CPS on the abuser in a heart beat. No cover-up or protecting abusers here! That is the key difference.

RE: "I still say these people are more Taliban than American and they should move to Afganistan"

The only thing the Taliban and the FLDS possibly have in common is plural marriage. Since when has an FLDS slit someones throat or blown someone up for being of another faith? If anything, you are more like the Taliban, than the FLDS are, for wanting to exterminate a religous sect. Certainly there are Muslims in this country who practice plural marriage and you don't see them doing the perp walk or have their children hauled off. If you did, then you would see the ACLU in action.

Personally, I would beat senseless any young or old man who wanted to marry my 14 year-old daughter. Not going to happen. However, what Texas did by changing the age of consent to marry from 14 to 16 to target a specific religous group is bigotry at its finest.

To make a raid based on a bogus phone call is wreckless. And to steal all 400 hundred kids w/o evidence of abuse is unconstitutional. Perhaps some of the moms and dads actually prohibited their children from marrying until they were 18.

The law says give them back ! the Sputreme court says they were wrong. Sounds to me like there are a lot more PERVERTS in the world than I thought! The law - the courts WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS for GODS SAKE !
