The fundamentalist Mormon sect may soon get their 400+ children back. The highest court in Texas has ruled the children must be returned. The court affirmed the decision of the appellate court. And, it turns out, the call to CPS by the girl who said she had been sexually abused – was probably a hoax!
It is almost beyond believe that the Texas child protective workers raided the fundamentalist compound and took these children from their parents. Although polygamy is outlawed in all 50 states, that did not give the state the right to remove all of these children en mass. They had no evidence to move in! This is an example of CPS workers deciding that parents are guilty until proven innocent. What a travesty of justice!
The question now is when will the kids go back? Will it be all or some? (Just under 40 moms brought the case) As far as I can tell, there has been no shred of evidence presented that suggests any or all of these children were at risk.
Going into state custodial care is sometimes like entering Roach Motel: Once you get in you can’t get out. Here’s proof that when intelligent judges look at the facts, and clear heads prevail, justice can be done.
More on custody and children’s welfare in future entries.
