I’d be interested in how what is happening with this group any different than what happens in regular cases of alleged abuse.
Aside from the magnitude, are the authorities doing any thing different with these people than with anyone else in similar circumstances?
They got a call for help, which they always have to take seriously. They got a search warrant. Kids are in protective custody as in any case of alleged abuse. The mothers left voluntarily. The authorities are in there with more warrants collecting evidence, documents if possible.
So why are they being so demonized? Are they doing something different than they would if it were a non-religious group?
Sheer numbers make this case unique and probably much different than other child abuse cases involving a single family. I don’t know by who or how the children are taken care of in a single family case. Is the child held by the state, placed with another family member or some other family acting on behalf of the state?
