OK,
so an underage girl had to be pregnant for a case? Not just ‘married’.

What do you do about the intentional blurring of ages (by never celebrating birthdays with these kids)-— by taking away kids from birth mothers and moving them around....

As awful as it is, I mean, that is frickin’ BRILLIANT if I was a pedophile— No one is sure about their age....”All these girls are of age— Oh her, she looks 12 but she's really 17.”

The only thing they were sure of was when they became breed-able.

So, how do you determine who is underage? (and yes, the devil is a genius)

[longtermmemmory]

there are ways such as x-rays of the wrist bones to see a balpark.

Texas has a high age of consent law with a rebuttable presumption for 14-17.

Yes these folks have pointed out a need to fix texas law.

For purposes of the original search affidavit they did not have to determine that underage girls were pregnant they just needed some corroboration of the phone call. Had they been lucky enough to just drive up and see what any common sense person could see was what looked like a 15 year old pregnant girl that would have been enough (even if she later turned out to be 19). That did not happen as I read the original search affidavit. Probable Cause is not much but it should be more than an anonymous phone call and they have a guard shack and will not talk to LE.
