Let me get this straight. If someone is happy marrying their underage daughters into polygamous *spriritual unions* this is ok with you? Luckily, it’s not ok with the State of TX.
I’m going to give you a break and assume you haven’t been keeping up with these threads, and here’s a head’s up. This is not about polygamy. This is about adult men having sex with underage girls. It’s called statutory rape, and it’s illegal.

I am sorry you miss the point.
I will try to help you.
If a person commits rape, that is a criminal act that can and should be prosecuted.
But that is not at all what I was discussing.
My discussion was relative to the idea that the state has the right to round up everyone in a community, separate them from their families and put kids in foster homes because there is a SUPPOSED crime.
To be silly to make a point, the same as if everyone on your street were locked up because there was a rape on your block.
That is not the way our laws are supposed to work.
Now back to the case in point: The woman has been determined to be of age. There has been no claim that she abused her children in any way. There is no reason to hold her. She should be released to go as she pleases.
Then each and every individual should be released as they are determined to be OK.
Actually, it is my belief that everyone should be released until an investigation determines that some individual or individuals have committed a crime and then only those should be held.
That is really the way our laws were intended to work.
