We are all on the same team here. The truth will come out. Just keep your powder dry and lets hold the animosity for the right people.

Fox is asking a silly question to stimulate viewers, it is dishonest in this case. The answer to the statement is that the Texas authorities received their first call before this woman made her call, to the other lady, it was not made to the Texas people, that is why they said she was a person of interest. The woman was on probation because she had made crank calls before and now she is under arrest for violation of her sentence.

Also reported by CNN this AM was the fact that the Texas LEO's had found proof that there were three girls with the correct name in the cult compound.

Good God! I’ll bet $50 that she doesn’t even see what she wants to do as exactly what she falsely accuses the Right of doing.

Crimes or not, I still think that Texas has constraints against unlawful search and seizure. Plus, I do believe that people still have civil rights down there.

416 counts of civil rights violations, as I see it. Oh well, Texas is a rich state with money coming out it's ears. They can afford the fallout.

This will make California's McMartin Preschool case look like nothing, once it's all said and done.

They openly practiced polygamy. How can it be a hoax?

Agent org is a mission to root out all the government God heretics here on FR. :)

No my mission is to root out anyone that supports the rape of children.

Was the ranch property one house, or a group of houses? I honestly don’t know.

But how many houses can be covered in one warrant, based on this call?

One? Ten? The City of Phildelphia?

Or she could be a flaming liberal who hates everything even remotely connected with the right wing.

Yes, I missed that point but from what I've read, they don't even know in some cases which child belongs to which mother.

This “Rosita Swinton | April 21, 2008 at 11:51 AM” post on Politco is a troll post.

The correct name is ROZITA SWINTON.

The Politico troll go the incorrect spelling from the Fox News piece, and posted on Politco shortly after.

It’s not “unlawful” to execute two legal search warrants, and a judge’s order.

Please show me a legal case in which a mother allowed an old man to rape her daughter and wasn’t at least investigated.

I don't know.

It probably depends a lot on what was said in those calls to the shelter. If the caller alleged widespread problems and a conspiracy among the members to hide child abuse among the members there, and those allegations appeared credible, the judge may have granted a warrant for the entire compound.

Remember that Jeffs, who is apparently the leader of this group is already in jail awaiting trial for being involved with arranging underage marriages. That lends a lot of credibility to an allegation that there are widespread problems, and that the leadership is helping hide them if not participating.

I heard this morning, the tests were voluntary for the adults. Can anyone confirm?

Seem the fathers could incriminate themselves and the mothers could be charged as being accomplices for not protecting their daughters.

“That lends a lot of credibility to an allegation that there are widespread problems, and that the leadership is helping hide them if not participating. “

That seems to decribe Philly to a tee.

(Note - I am just wondering about legal issues, not taking any position.)

If it was posted before she was arrested and her name became known, it might have some credibility. However, since it was posted today, it's far more likely it's some idiot making a spoof post under her name.

exactly right. thousands of underage girls having kids each year. I think anti-abortionist tried to get the names of underage children having abortions and the left is fighting that from happening.

This police action doesn’t sit right with me but my wife thinks its OK.
