Besides, they rescued the kids, including the dhildren mothers, some of whom were pregnant and took them away from their abusers. I have no probemo with that, kemosabe.

They “rescued” 416 children and many mothers. Precisely what were all 416 children rescued from? Each child and mother has separate and individual rights.
Few if any of those children were in imminent danger. They rounded them all up to extract evidence from them since they had no credible evidence for initiating the action in the first place. Their tipster disappeared on them, and from what most sources say now, the tipster has a history of providing false, anonymous charges.
The state is running loose at present, but their action will be subject to review. There are far more humane ways to investigate suspected polygamous relationships than making innocent children and mothers bear the brunt of the state’s ham handed actions.
I read that only 5 of the captured kids are pregnant or have given birth under the age of 18.
The age of consent in Texas is 16. So it remains to be seen as to whether or not there are any 13 year olds who are pregnant. At this point, there are not.
