Don't you just love the transparency in government?

Hundreds of kids arrested and detained for months, millions of dollars wasted, all of this because of one malicious complaint. This is truly the biggest CPS screwup in history. Don`t you people think its time to abolish the CPS industry for good?

Anytime police are searching for a victim of violent crime - violence can happen. The hoax caller put the YFZ children's lives at risk. This wasn't a simple prank call.

This reminds me of all of the people who do damage to others and when one sues these people, it's discovered they have no assets with which to properly compensate their victims. OJ caused damage to the Goldman family, but they haven't seen much in the way of compensation.

The FLDS members lost their children for two months, which was a nightmare to them and it all came about due to this phone call. But, the phone call was a hoax and the caller has mental problems that may prevent her from taking responsibility for her actions. Even if she could take responsibility, there wouldn't be much in the way of punishment and nothing in the way of compensation.

The FLDS also lost their children because some of their members allegedly practiced statutory rape. So, these members are partially responsible as well.

Some of the responsibility must lie with the parents who elected to reside in a community that allegedly tolerates child sexual abuse. It is hard to believe that good parents would live in an area with so many alleged sexual abusers.

Nothing would have happened due to the calls if there weren't problems within the compound.

Get off it Gal 50....the law had no right togo on the ranch. What was "seen" by CPS was wishful thinking brought about by a steady diet of bookpeddler drivil.

Watch the "evidence" get thrown out.....watch the Hildebrand law disappear....watch the few perverts walk free because of a bunch of bozos.

CPS did not walk in and see......they took a tank and a swat team and desecrated a church.

All this misery because of a nut!
