No wonder there is such an outcry to keep these children as wards of the state, there is a lot of money to be made by anyone involved. This is only 6 months of cost involved, what would years of involvement cost the taxpayers? Prosecuting citizens is a very profitable project to many that could care less if the money supply dried up. Take away the funding and see how many stay on the band wagon.

Lets see.....how much of that 14million was used to discover that there were no "lost boys", no crematorium, no weapons storehouse, no broken bones, no abused boys, ......and on and on and on.
But they did find several "teen mothers" ranging in age from 17 to 37.
Lets not forget the costs for honey, fresh veggies, bicycles and sewing machines to keep the prisoners content enough to not escape.

At what price point do we discontinue caring for children?

Re Just asking: At what price do we stop imprisoning 400+ children to perhaps save one.
Right now we have spent 14 million while thousands of Texas children have no health care, inferior schools, a juvinile justice system plagued with a sex scandal and inner city children living in drug dens.
So we spend 14 million to satisfy gossip mongers.
The 14 million didn't save any children, at best it taught 400+ children to fear the government and further intrench the FLDS.
One more generation that will teach their children about the 2008 raid to go along with their parents and grandparents version of the 1953 raid and the 19th century persecutions.
