“More than 400 children apprehended April 3 at the Morman sect’s Texas enclave may be subject to genetic testing to sort out family relationships that have confounded welfare authorities

“It just doesn’t seem right,” Blackmore said of the apprehensions.”

Okay I’ll say it: it don’t seem right.

That girl has never been identified.

I thought she was a 33 year old from Colorado....

The welfare fraud is probably a valid investigation. The “they’re getting teenagers pregnant” isn’t.

Morman polygamist leader Winston Blackmore says the people of Bountiful are praying for the children in Texas being held in custody by U.S. authorities.

I would be more inclined to pray that someone would stake blackmore out on an fire ant hill with honey poured on his head.

I thought she was a 33 year old from Colorado....

Just cult supports posting misleading information.

Flying Inman fpr cult supporters ping.

[Nick Thimmesch]

Ain’t no Moron, er, ah, Mormon, but what’s next: “raiding” this place?

The “they’re getting teenagers pregnant” isn’t.

So you think the rape of little girls is OK ??

[Politicalmom]

You thought wrong.

[JRandomFreeper]

So Texas Rangers didn't interview a woman in Colorado that was arrested for filing a false report? NPR got it wrong? I'm crushed to hear it.

The calls to the Child Protection Project, run by a former member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, were recorded at the request of the Texas Rangers.

Shouldn't take long to verify.

[Politicalmom]

Good grief.

There were TWO sets of calls. She is NOT suspected of being the original caller at this time, she is suspected of calling Flora Jessop at another shelter. The whole thing took place outside of Texas.

[JRandomFreeper]

Alas, NPR was correct. In which case, I am still crushed.

But I do smell a lot of Bravo Sierra around these parts.

Sure it is ~ not just teenagers, underage minors.

I know such differentiation is difficult for some folks, but there you have it.

Time to learn to live with it.

BTW, once you're out of there somebody will tell you how to get a wife ~ it's not through supplication to the Prophet. He's in jail anyway. Got his own unbidden sexual relationships to worry about no doubt.

[Politicalmom]

NPR may have gotten it right, but apparently you are unable to comprehend the details.

The original calls were to a shelter in Texas. They were not recorded. The girl said her name was Sarah.

The Colorado calls came well after all this was publicized. She claimed to be the twin sister of “Sarah”. These calls were recorded.

Texas officials still believe the original call was genuine.

[SouthTexas]

Yep. One cannot bring up pertinent facts or question the state’s action or Constitutional issues lest you be accused of being a member of said cult or a supporter of child abuse.

[JRandomFreeper]

The whole thing took place outside of Texas.

416 children are without parents tonight, by the weight of Texas executive branch. I'm the power that enables them. I'd like to make sure I keep proper oversight on my civil servants.

They work for me. I don't work for them. If they forget it, I can explain it. I'm a bitter old man, clinging to my guns and Bible.

[JRandomFreeper]

Got it, Ma'am.

The cops and CPS better be right on this one.

Or there will be a backlash.

Really, really.

Sounds fine to me, since most of them were being supported at the expense of the Federal Government and the State of Texas. Maybe Daddy should step in and pay a few bucks on his 60 kids.
