Not only will TX need volunteer lawyers to rep everyone, they will need vol psychologists to help these people recover.
It’s hard to figure out what would constitute “justice” for the women. They’ve been perpetrators and active enablers of some really horrible things, and yet when you consider how most of them were brutally brainwashed from infancy themselves, they look more like victims than willing perpetrators.
Texas has its hands full with this case, but is to be commended for forging ahead with a best effort to do the right thing, even though they’re a long way from figuring out exactly how to manage the process for a good outcome. When you know that hundreds of children are being brutally beaten and sexually abused, you simply have to go out on a limb and stop it NOW, and figure out what to do with them afterwards.
