They have a tough one on their hands. The more I think about it, the more they should have made the men leave the ranch and then monitored it while the process took place rather than rake up 400 plus innocent children and scatter them to the 4 winds. The hard part is that just because a church member or neighbor breaks the law doesn't mean I am also breaking the law. The guilt by association being assumed is ground breaking tyranny by civil law. Wasn't that how Hilter started by getting Jews out of the public baths and pools. Civil judges whereby the thresholds are much lower and the people don't have to vote.

And on what legal basis that would be acceptable to the anti-government folks could that have been done?

Texas has legal provision to remove children from a residence that they have reason to believe is abusive. What provision would the state have to kick the men out of their own homes?

That's also presuming that only the men are abusers in this situation and that the women are innocent in this regard and that has not yet been established. If the women were participants in the abuse, then removing the men would not have protected the children from much except the rape part.

CPS is not authorized to remove anyone but the children.

I’ve said it many times on these threads and I’ll explain it here now for you: this is about the tens of thousands of dollars in welfare support these “single” women receive from the state and federal governments, money that their menfolk take and bank. The government’s real concern is welfare FRAUD.

The FLDS men only marry one woman legally, the rest are called “celestial brides”. Because they are considered by the state and federal governments to be single women with chidren and the father’s names aren’t stated, this makes them eligible for MONEY derived from our tax revenues. This church pays ZERO $ tax revenue because it is exempt. These children are important mostly as cash cows. FLDS loses the children - they lose money.

Now can you see more clearly exactly what is happening?
