[Dr. Scarpetta]

Good...God bless these children and help the authorities protect them from rape and abuse.

[mollynme]

From what I’ve read, some of these children are going to be found to be unrelated to any of the mothers. I wonder if the parents that were ordered to send their children to the compound are going to fess up?

[Awestruck]

Yes, because foster and state care isn’t rife with rape and abuse.. btw.. anyone come up with any real evidence other than a bogus phone call yet? OH , I forgot.. damn the constitution.. we’re on a witchhunt.

Dittoes. At least Jim Jones had the guts to get himself to another country to do his evil deeds. I’d like to see major jail time for the perps here.

Sentiments I share as well.

[kittymyrib]

Good...we’ll finally learn the answer to the question, “Who’s your daddy?” And we’ll find out when the women became pregnant. That ought to put some of these despicable men in prison, where getting their sexual urges satisfied will be problematical.

[Jedidah]

Maybe it’s easier to groom a little girl to be a child bride if you’re just her “assigned” mother.

Good thing this is happening to a despised group, as it's so much easier to accept the wholesale grab of genetic material to enter into government databases. Whoo-hoo for establishing the precedent of genetically testing victims.

I don't agree with what this cult does, but when you start hearing about ‘reeducation’ by government authorities, it strikes me as a far larger problem than solution.

[Abigail Adams]

Everyone who wants to know what this cult is like and how the children, women, and men in it suffer, go here:

and read some of the “True Stories.”

“anyone come up with any real evidence other than a bogus phone call yet?”

How do you think the underaged girls got pregnant? Don’t you think that qualifies as evidence?

[org.whodat]

More than 400 children taken from a ranch run by a polygamous sect will stay in state custody and be subject to genetic testing, a judge ruled Friday

Way to go judge.

[SouthTexas]

Don’t you think that qualifies as evidence?

The same evidence can be found in any, and probably every, Jr. High school in this country.

I have noted there are several people here that don't care about these little girls it is all about their personal agenda's.

[jabchae]

Polygamous sect. State custody.

It's hard to tell which is the frying pan and which is the fire.

[Mr. Silverback]

Let's see...we have a sworn affadavitt by an investigator as well as the testimony offered by two expert witnesses so far. Plus, we have the fact that the sect's leaders encourage sex with minor girls, which was proven in Warren Jeffs' trial.

Are these people presumed innocent. Yep. Is the state offering no evidence? Nope.

[DugwayDuke]

“The same evidence can be found in any, and probably every, Jr. High school in this country.”

Name the jr. high schools that promote marraige between girls under 15 and men over 40.

[org.whodat]

The same evidence can be found in any, and probably every, Jr. High school in this country.

Is that your way of saying that some young girl making the mistake of taking her cloths off and getting pregnant is the same thing as being raped by some old fart and after being brain washed into thinking they were doing it for god.

Sick!

Sorry, but that's paranoia. Parenthood needs to be established if any child custody determinations are going to be made properly.

Then you have a problem above your shoulders, that only the old style French could aide you with.
