If this was anyone but the FLDS people would probably be up in arms about 4th Amendment and illegal search and seizures. Not to mention various choice words about Social Services.

I definitely agree.

Also...removing 419 children from their mothers and fathers is a DRASTIC action to be taken, and emotionally very traumatic to these kids. Surely not all of those 419 children were abused.

However,,,In following these polygamy stories, I am concerned that women and young girls are held in these homes against their will. Also, when women do choose to leave these polygamous households, am I correct that they often lose custody of their children?

The abuse and brainwashing of the children in this sect is the government’s business. No one has a right to dry foul in this case.
I’m glad that under Bush we haven’t got a WACO, and that this thing is outed.

NO, many of the underage girls had babies, so both babies were taken.
