I would, along with our AG. For all I know that is already taken care of. Because the FLDS planted that patch of gravel.

Can someone clear a few things up. Did the pologamists threaten the gays, or did the gays threaten Malonis, or was it the Walther support crowd that threatened the gay security guards. Could it be that Willie is a gay polygamist security guard that has threatened Malonis for not allowing Walther to have a gay armed guard. Could the gay armed security guard union now sue because Texas won't allow gay marraige.

I really think Teresa may be a gay polygamist with a crush on a Lawyer that is having an affair with Willie.

Someone needs to make a phone call quick before the lord returns and is shot by someone protecting all these officers of the court from the gay polygamist boogie man having an affair with the virgin pregnant girl.

No wonder the kid is so confused........

You sir are magnicent. + 1

Realitycheck,

> Just look into Willie's or Warren's eyes and tell me I'm wrong.

Wow, I just looked into your post.. the way you capitalized that letter.. you're obviously repressed, and you've killed small animals.

Its as plain as the apostrophe before the "s"!

Malonis went on Nancy Grace many times, before this blew up. She seems to have something like extreme ADHD, can't keep her head still, and look into the camera. She was always inferring some new evidence would come along, shortly that the state had. She is obviously in never never land.

Thank you bailjate.

I really think that if someone says boo half this bloggesphere would implode from fright.
The real bleeding hearts cry as many tears for the dogs that aren't on the compound as for the poor children with no crayons.
What really is funny is Malonis and her complaining about the girl going to the media when the lawyer takes every opportunity to put herself in front of the spotlight. Then Malonis wants us to believe that she didn't request guards after claiming death threats.
Malonis may not have made the call but at this point she could slip in the shower and Walther would blame Willie for not sending over a bath mat.
I know that the following statement may label me a sexist but hey........Flora, Carolyn, Elisa, Walther, and Malonis need to join the red hat club and solve a few social ills a bit closer to home. Those five and reality check could open an animal shelter and do some social good. Just make sure the little orpaned puppies are spayed and neutered......and the correct dates are on the papers.

What do teenagers do when they feel they are in a box and can't get someone to understand them??

They either shout and get angry, or they cover their face and clam up. Teresa is no different than any ordinary teenageer. Just because she is Warren Jeffs daughter does NOT give this attorney any right to talk to the media, shout at her and, yes, threaten her with being taken from her mother AGAIN!!! This attorney and this judge have nothing but their God to worry about because the FLDS have NEVER been known to send out death threats. This is just another fabricated lie so the judge and attorney can get sympathy. Why not just let the girl go home and be back to happy, it will happen as soon as she turns 18 anyway. My attorney told me even murderers get visitation rights--why can't she write a letter to her father?? RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION!! You don't have to see the pigs to know it stinks!

So we locked warren up for performing a marriage ceremony, and we're letting charles manson out.
We go after a bunch of non existant underage brides, and the news headline have a story about a texas high school with a pregnancy pact. (is cps involved in that, or do they specialize only the imaginary world?)
and so it goes.
If chuck Manson had owned a pair of jet powered rocket pants, where would he be now?

I was unaware that Malonis had been on Nancy Grace....now that is just par for the course.
I did see her publicity photo on one of the other sites beside one of her early interviews.
Isn't it amazing that out of a few hundred ad litums she is the only publicity hound.
I guess that since everyone picked on ole unibrow it is only fair to say that the publicity shot looks like a glamor photo gone bad.
I sure am glad that the Rangers kept her safe today in that crime ridden city of SanAngelo......she will be in good shape for the disbarment proceedings.
RE: reality check | 8:39 p.m. June 24, 2008
Im sorry, but hundreds of people have "escaped" or "been cast out" of the FLDS(same thing, depends if you are a boy or girl), and became "normal", which I guess means no morals, chases different girls every night, does drugs, becomes indoctrinated in our wonderful school system which teaches people irresponsibility(contraceptives because abstinence doesn't work), modern psychology(feel good anyway even if you do wrong), immorality(showering together, modern sex education, teachers with questionable morals, etc, etc.)

That is not enough. The sickening arm of the government had to forcefully tear in incredible meanness the children who had not decided to be "normal" and force them into "normal" society.

The story of this girl wanting out then changing her mind when in the custody of her family is a big fat fib. I have ears, eyes, I can see. CPS was clamoring so hard for justification that they had to make up charges. If she had given the slightest indication of this, CPS would of lit it up like a prairie fire.

You cling so hard to this "brainwashing" theory that you would never believe otherwise even if you lived among them and witnessed otherwise.

FYI the "pregnancy pact" was in Gloucester, MA

At the end of the day Walther is still the judge, Malonis is still the attorney and Willie must stay away from Annette and her daughter, who may or may not be an abuse victim.

And to Ediddy - I've never set foot in Texas and I've never worked for any CPS agency in any state. Having to work long hours in a depressing job, which pays very little money is not my idea of how to spend life. Additionally, I wouldn't subject myself to wearing long dresses with long undies in the Texas heat and being married along with two other women to a wrinkled old man, not of my choosing. I find Texas, CPS and the FLDS to all be very depressing. However, watching two cultures deal with each other is very interesting. Ethnology is a fascinating subject. Additionally, I have a PA Dutch background so it is interesting contrasting how the government deals with these two religions and how these two religions compare with each other.

Hummm, I have to agree with Gal50.
wingnut | 11:16 p.m. June 24, 2008
Re: JDM, I stand corrected. I was thinking of the news story in the Dallas Morning News for June 25th that was talking about the high school where 142 of 2,693 students were pregnant and over 80,00 teens in texas between the ages of 15-19 were pregnant..
Boy I sure have egg on my face.

re - 8:39pm

yes - you're right - hundreds have escaped or been cast out.

it's just too bad that they have to either escape or be thrown out. No other options.

Why can't a child grow up to be 18, tell his/her parents that they want to go to college or move out and get a job, and the parents help them - or at least not disown them. What kind of parent is that? That's called - caring more about your religion than about your kids. That's called bad parents.

Threatening email | 3:18 p.m. June 24, 2008
After Teresa sent a letter to the judge, her lawyer sent her the following threatening email:

"Writing that letter to the Judge was about the most foolish thing you could have done. The Judge is now convinced that you are not able to make good decisions for yourself, and she is convinced also that your mother is not able to make proper decisions for you either Teresa, the Judge wants to take you back in custody and what's worse is that these poor choices may end up with your siblings back in custody if the Judge and CPS think your mother is not able to reign you in. The judge would probably not allow me to withdraw right now even if I requested it because the Judge sees me as the only person who is looking out for what is in your legal interests."

There is no "threat", only a legal admonition.
Turns out the attorney ad litem was right in her understanding of the law.
