Wow, children returned to their parents. What a crime.

The governor of Texas thinks that all the children belong to the state.

The governor of Texas thinks that all the children belong to the state.

Lots of assumptions have been made on this one. From the article

Among the mothers who was set to be reunited with her children was Lori Jessop, an emergency medical technician whose son turned 1 year old last week.

I thought they were all on welfare and did not have jobs.

The appeals court agreed and noted that, if anything, the evidence may have become weaker since the raid. Some of the supposed child brides identified by the state turned out to be adults. One was 27 years old.

The CPS was trying to pass off a 27 year old woman as 15 - 16?

Returning the boys and girls to the religious sect, Texas argued, "would subject the children to continuing sexual and emotional abuse."

Ah, the mighty "potential sex abuse" magic phrase. The appeals court is not buying the story, nore are they falling to their knees when it is invoked. I bet the CPS folks are bewildered.
