CPS has the duty to protect the kids, not prosecute the rapists. If there is an allegation of abuse, CPS acts and then figures out the facts later. This is SOP.

Currently the CPS has a reasonable suspicion that four or five members of the ranch may have been victims of sexual abuse. The TXSC's ruling provides for the continued detention of those children.
CPS acknowledges that there has only been one allegation of abuse, an anonymous call from outside of Texas, and admits that they made an unprecedented decision to circumvent their chartered procedures.
IMO, This is wrong.

May question to you is this:
If you lived in a large apartment complex with your children along with many other families with children and someone several hundred miles away made an anonymous phone call stating that they lived in your apartment complex and that they were a victim of sexual abuse, how would you feel if the CPS swooped in and took everyone's children including yours?

Citing the Jeffs photo is nothing short of guilt by association. If there are victims in the group and the perps can be identified, I'm all for them getting the justice they deserve, but to make casualties of the innocent to achieve this is unacceptable to me and to anyone else who believes in equal justice.

I would have thought that the evidence of underage marriages, and the evidence that several underage girls are currently pregnant under the circumstances - i.e., this little “gang” society that they’re living in - would be enough to raise sufficient concerns to look into the entirety of this mess.

The FLDS should not be permitted to hide behind “religion” in their abuse of children (where or not the men are married to them)
