And, they have not arrested anyone yet.


When the cops seize the children and tell their parents that they can not retrieve the children, that the parents can not leave with the children, you are essentially imprisoning the parent because that parent can not leave with the children.

In other words, it is sort of like a loose version of house arrest in that you may not be in jail, but then neither can you call yourself free to come and go.

It is a text book case of cops abusing the public.

IF they had found a crime and arrested the person or persons who committed the crime, OK.

But you can not put everyone under some sort of judicial restraint (not able to leave with the children, not able to mention Jeffords by name, threats that they must give up their religion or association with that church; all amount to some sort of judicial restraint or penalty.

It would be the same as if you as a Catholic were put under all sorts of restraints because you had a priest that was accused but not convicted of pedophilia.

You are supposed to penalize the person who committed the crime and leave every one else alone.

I disagree with your entire premise, that taking the children was the same as putting the parents under arrest. It will be interesting to see if the courts agree with you, however.

And, if I had a pedophile priest living in my home (and my take is that the compound was one large family, your opinion may differ) AND family members were actively helping him have sex with some of the kids in the home, I would fully expect ALL of the children to be removed. susie
