My view is this was a big mistake but we can be thankful that it was not an even bigger mistake and that the rule of law was upheld.

Big mistake is right. I'm willing to bet those children were far more traumatized being kidnapped by the State and placed with strangers for their alleged own good, than the supposedly abusive lifestyle their moms allegedly subjected them to.

The days of being innocent until proven guilty are long gone in America, along with due process of law. This is thanks to "zero tolerance." Proof is irrelevant. If the government says you're guilty, you are.

Unlike Waco, at least these kids weren't burned to death on government orders. I suppose we should be grateful.
