Yet another religious cult raided

[kandrathe]

Sorry kandrathe, I will Not debate you on this subject, YOU made your mind up in your original post #1. You say you don't support the Practices and Doctrine of the FLDS and You do not Support the Law in this matter.

Correction. I support the law, but I don't support the actions of Texas CPS when they violate the law. My view is that you start with rights, and the State must prove a case in a court with due process. In this case, based on false information, an entire community was raided and stripped of its children. Now, because of testimony of an "environment of indoctrination to accept abuse" (which may be the normal community practice of underaged marriages), ALL the children have been removed from their community.

Answer one Question for me. How many Children Need to be Abused before You would take action???

For me, zero. The allegation of abuse is sufficient for the state to act on behalf of an abused child. I'm not comfortable with a State that rounds up people and locks them up to later sift the innocent from the guilty and work to manufacture the evidence on the fly.

How would we feel if in our communities, children were routinely rounded up, herded onto buses, taken to an institution where they are examined, psycho-analyzed, probed, and questioned, and when anything out of the ordinary appears it is reported as abuse and the children are removed until the parents can prove themselves innocent. Wait, we do this already. We call it Public School. :) I'm be facetious (and sorry in advance Gris!), but you can see how easy a program of routine physical and psychological screening can be implemented in our "normal" culture. In fact, I believe that for many teachers and school administrators they actually do believe they are better parents, than the parents. It may be true in some cases, but woe be to our nation when we allow the state and federal government to raise our children for us. In that case, we've moved one step closer to Huxley's "Brave New World".
