Comments on: Polygamy Custody Hearings Chaotic So Far

Lawyers For More Than 400 Children Taken In Raid Demand To Read Evidence

How sad to see our nations narrow mindedness regarding people with a different lifestyle. Doesn''t anyone see that this step toward removing civil rights from such a large group of people is another small step to eroding the rights of mainstream culture? We have such high and mighty puritanical opinions. And now to find out that no child made that call, just some loon from Colorado Springs? Don''t any of us have compassion for those children? And as far as investigating abuse, maybe it would''ve made more sense to remove the Men and conduct interviews at the homes of the children. I''m so sick of the abuses of power in this country, I could just spit.
Does spiritual union imply ***? I don''t think so.

Yes, Im sure that a great deal of that went on with this cult. However, under the laws of most states (and most certainly, Texas), not naming the father of your baby (so the state can go after him for child support, etc.) causes automatic denial of any sort of public assistance benefits -- other than perhaps help finding a job. I too heard that this sort of welfare scan was part and parcel of this cults However, it would have been very difficult for them to have done much of it in recent years.

The FLDS rig the system by either makng up a fathers name, or identifying a Jeffs or Barlow as the father, but the father has no assets, or job, as the Church owns all of the assets, including all houses and cars.

Also, the more-rigorous requirements put into place by the Clinton administration are largely for AFDC, and not food stamps and WIC.

No child, especially a female child, should be left in the care of a Woman who would allow these things to go on. When a MOTHER provides NO protection to a female child in this nation she no longer retains the right to be a Mother. Nothing new about that at all. Sieg Heil and Amen

Pray for these children that healing and wholeness may come into their lives.

A child protection supervisor testified Thursday that she encountered several pregnant teen girls at a polygamist ranch who called each other "sister wives" and who believed it was acceptable to be "spiritually united" with a man at any age.

"It was the belief that no age was too young to be married," said Angie Voss, a supervisor for investigation at Texas Child Protective Services.

Go do a Google search on "Bleeding the Beast" there has been alot written about the way this cult gets our tax dollars.

We need to DEMAND DNA (cotton swab in the mouth) test be given to each baby born to a girl under 18, then DNA test the "spiritual husband". This will tell us immediately if there was Statutory Rape. They need to be charged with Rape or child molesting. The "mothers" who put their 13 year old daughters up for a fake wedding to an old pervert, then is accessory to Rape, and should also be charged - just like Warren Jeffs.
