Town not happy about sect's return

ELDORADO -- The news that hundreds of children could soon return to a compound run by a polygamous group near here brought an unhappy reception from the YFZ Ranch's neighboring community.

Eldorado residents expressed skepticism that evidence of abuse is lacking. Some said they won't be welcoming the sect members -- who are scattered across the state trying to stay with their children -- back to Schleicher County with open arms.

Gabe Rodriguez said no one likes the idea of children being taken from their parents, but he said he is wary of allowing the children to return so soon.

"Let's do the job right," he said. "It's a long, drawn-out process, but we're there. Let's finish the process."

Rodriguez said it's unfortunate that Eldorado is getting attention only because of the raid on the ranch of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He said the Eldorado High School sports teams have done the best ever, with a winning season in every sport.

"It's not fair to our kids," Rodriguez said. "There's more to Eldorado than this."

"CPS...they just need enough cause to believe that if the child isn't removed there will be immediate danger... However, in their ruling last week, the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals ruled the evidence for taking away all the children "was legally and factually insufficient....

Uhhhh the conservative appeals court said more than that...They said

“The existence of the FLDS [Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints] belief system as described by the department’s witnesses, by itself, does not put children of FLDS parents in physical danger.”

Innuendo, rumors, guilt by association, collective guilt and group punishment should not be part of our legal system. Stop the child abuse, but also stop the legal abuse.

From the article: "The way the state sees it, this was a community designed and organized for the purpose of carrying out felonious sexual assault against underage girls," McCown said. "All these adults were bound up in this culture, are part and parcel of it, so they (Texas authorities) have a duty to protect the children."

The disbelievers in this design would have us join them in their disbelief of all of...
...the eye-witness testimony from ex-members & members,
...its long-time historical multi-generational practice,
...its criminal justice track record,
...media reports, and the like surrounding this group.

Some people see design & conclude, "There must be a designer." (For the...
...FLDS such design = false Mormon god speaking thru "revelation" Mormon "prophets";
...world such design = the real God speaking thru the revelation of His world).
Other people don't acknowledge such designs (the naysayers about fLDS behavior; and the evolutionists who refuse to acknowledge such designs of the world).

Well, the key thing to remember here is that while CPS has hit a bump, the multi-level criminal investigation is just beginning.

Criminal investigation of polygamous sect unimpeded by court wrangling

Like someone said yesterday, the Fat Lady hasn't even arrived on stage yet.
