No reason for me to stop. I am expressing my anger against these bastards. Do you think that is wrong???
News Brief: Monday, April 14, 2008
Today, the children who were removed from the FLDS compound were moved from various shelters to a single large shelter at the San Angelo City Coliseum.
This has been in the works since last week but DFPS couldn’t move sooner because the coliseum was booked for another engagement and had to be cleaned and made ready.
Since the judge ordered DFPS to keep the children in the area, all the agencies involved are working hard to provide as comfortable an environment as possible for these children and the coliseum is the best option. It’s not a hotel, but it provides more room and is better suited for a shelter than the various buildings DFPS had been using. With the judge’s permission DFPS moved about two dozen teenage boys to a facility outside the area. All the rest of the children are at the coliseum.
While adult women with very young children remain at the shelter are this time, many of the women were taken back to the compound or to a safe place of their choice.
While DFPS understands mothers want to be with their children it is not normal to allow a parent to accompany a child or to even know child’s exact location once the child has been removed due to abuse or neglect.
This decision was not made by CPS alone. DFPS sought counsel from the attorneys of the children, mental health professionals and others. The consensus was that this is in the best interest of the children at this time.
Some of the children are sick because they arrived at the shelter already sick. Some came into state care already suffering with chicken pox, and upper respiratory infections, ear infections, etc. The state is merely providing the medical attention the children need.
