I agree with you about the child abuse. But certainly not all of these 400 children have been abused. And, there isn’t going to be any abuse while under state supervision. I don’t buy the state’s argument that the children won’t talk with mothers around. They are going to be interviewed privately anyway. I think this is a powergrab by Social Services which is notorious for violations of parental rights.

No doubt some DNA tests are in order ~ just to make sure the kids belong to the mothers.

First, I have no sympathy for a woman that pimps her teenage daughter to 50 year old men.

Second, CPS can be overreaching.

Third, I would have to agree that these kids will be more open if they are outside of the presence of their mothers

Once each mother is cleared of any wrongdoing, mother and child should be reunited.

And if any of the women did hand over their pubescent daughters to adult men, they should go to prison for life.

Tripod I am in complete agreement with you.

I suspect most of these mothers are good mothers. The authorities need to go after the perps, and I doubt they will develop much if any evidence that will hold up in a court of law in child interviews. And, if they have an informant that will testify they should use the info to separate the abused ones and keep the other mothers with their children. This is heading for a PR disaster for the Lone Star state.

My question is this: If polygamy is a crime in the various states, why aren't they taking action to close down the temples??
