You know, an interesting thing has happened on these threads.
People have been slamming the government for not handling this *properly*. They keep saying that the government should have collected more evidence. Some have suggested wire tapping and infiltration.
Now here we have a situation where infiltration has happened and now what are we hearing? Criticism of why it was let go for some long.
The government is damned if it does and damned if it doesn't. This goes to show that for the government haters, NOTHING the government can do is right, ever, Even when the government does what the haters have suggested, its being castigated for it.
The problems with an informant is that they cannot make it obvious that they are collecting information. Not only would that tip the leaders off, they'd very likely be taking their lives into their hands.
So they just have to lay low and collect what they can as the opportunity presents itself.
Now if they did start dealing with it one at a time, as it happened, that would certainly tip off the leaders as well, again rendering the informant ineffective.
I keep thinking that the call that started this whole thing had info that came from somewhere. So to the people who say its a hoax I wonder how this caller knew all about that ranch....I don’t see what the LEO should have done differently. Its a huge mess when you have people unwilling to be honest. I think the DNA is going to prove some of these children do not belong to their so called mothers but that is just my personal opinion.
Thanks for the ping.
Keep in mind: the state must be fairly certain they have a case here. And CPS is fairly certain they do, too. They are two separate issues but with children at the heart of it, they will take it very seriously.
I can’t speak for other states, but in Texas if you go to prison and you are a sex offender, an abuser of children, you are very likely not to survive the other inmates.
