It isn’t a polygamy issue. It’s about the kids. CPS must have some really good bases of concern since the judge kept the kids in state custody. Actually I hope it goes well in the future for this couple. They are young and probably have the best chance of understanding what is acceptable with children and what isn’t.
I live in Fresno and this is true all over the U.S. - that there are older guys running around having sex with a pile of teenage girls and babies are being born or aborted. I guess technically that’s not polygamy but everyone knows it’s wrong. I guess it’s not against the law but everyone knows it’s wrong. Why did the authorities go after these poor slobs with such a vengeance? Like all of a sudden they care about the children? Something is horribly wrong with this picture. You can’t throw the Constitution out the window just because you don’t like someone’s life style. No, I don’t make excuses for the creepy men in FLDS who are having sex with little girls. It’s disgusting, wrong, and against the law. But you can’t just bust into their homes, rip their kids away from their mothers, and dump the kids in foster homes - all because of a false report. Not every FLDS woman is guilty; and not every FLDS man is guilty; and for sure the kids did nothing wrong. There was no due process.
The same judge who authorized the original "raid" on the basis of unsworn hearsay? From someone who was not only not known to the person swearing the affidavit for the warrant, but who in all likelihood does not exist, except in the mind of a known hoaxer?
