As many know, I had my doubts about this raid, only because of the shaky initial evidence, but if underage girls are turning up pregnant or having kids, then that is pretty much solid evidence of abuse. Hopefully, the fact that the initial call turned out to be a hoax won't introduce a technicality that would allow for the "men" responsible to escape justice.
I still have reservations about separating the mothers from the children, and I still believe that Texas isn't doing enough to prosecute this crime when it occurs in non-FLDS communities, but I hope anyone who indeed had sex with a minor is prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows.
And give mastectomies to any woman who had sex with any under aged male.

I think you summarized the hopes, and fears, of both ‘sides’ of this case, all in two paragraphs. (and their aren’t two sides, we’re all on the same side, we just got issues)
It wasn’t so much what you said, we all have said the same thing.
It was...the way you said it.
