ELDORADO, Texas (AP) - State officials Tuesday defended their decision to suddenly separate mothers from many of the children taken in a raid on a polygamist ranch in West Texas. Texas Children's Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner said the separation was made Monday after they decided that children are more truthful in interviews about possible abuse if their parents are not around.

Normally the alleged perpetrator would be arrested and taken to trail. Taking away 401 children from their parents smacks of Nazi Germany Fascism to me. This is a repeat of a questionable attack on a Christian sect in Waco. Just as in Waco all we read about in the MSM is alleged sexual deviance. That justifies radical action against another Christian Sect.

But what we see and learn is that we killed many innocent women and children in an unjustified and overzealous attempt to get one man. Are we doing that again in Texas, only under a Republican Administration? Is it okay to destroy the lives of 401 children and parents because we do not understand or like or approve of their life style? Who are the real criminals -- Marleigh Meisner?

There was no ‘alleged’ sexual deviance at the Branch Dividian site—— there’s many interviews from the kids (now adults) and yes, it happened (I’m not saying the other is OK). Just that the kids who survived are very damaged from what was done to them at the hands of DK.

Normally...

IF the "abuser" is removed, children aren't "removed." Considering the children were removed from the site with their mothers, then later "separated" from their mothers due to some reason CPS (all powerful [and dysfunctional]) decided was best for the children based originally on some phone call from an alleged victim (which, BTW, would have to be recorded by law by CPS)--- considering all this, I still have serious questions about this dubious action.

Like:
Why were the photo's, notes and videos taken by the sect members confiscated by the sheriff posse?
Why the tanks?
The state of Texas is going to put them in foster care. Ummmm, the Texas news sources have been reporting for several years that there's a "shortage" of foster care homes and facilities.

This just smells weird.
