I understand what you are saying, but this has been allowed to happen because evil people can take something as fundamentally honest as the First Amendment and turn it into a reason to sanction statutory rape (Freedom of Religion). At some point good judgment has to do the heavy lifting, and if those in authority of handling this mess think it necessary to sever the lines back to YFZ then I think it should happen.

What if they 'go back' and those who were 'weak' are punished? How many lives could be taken? Its just all commentary are discussion here...those folks in TX have lives and safety in their hands...and I am guessing they don't want a 'Guyana' on their consciences...

Sounds exactly like what the gun banners say about the Second Amendment. The First Amendment protects Freedom of Religion or it doesn't.

That said religion is no excuse for committing crimes. Religion is about belief, not actions, although actions may be influenced by belief. Actions can, and if the evidence is there, will be, punished.

But the legal niceties must be observed. These are American Citizens and they must be treated as such. They are not enemy aliens, or illegal combatants, nor even illegal aliens. They have the full protection of all of the Bill of Rights. That includes the right to an indictment and trial *before* punishment.

Now that, said, the Judge could issue a "protective order", but it should be subject to challenge by any of those not charged with any crime, if they are legal adults that is.
