Polygamy Sect''''s Kids Face Tough Transition"

Yeah it''''ll be a shock to the system not being raped by a pedophile every day.

Got news for you--lots of pedophiles sign up to be foster parents. And men find it easier to rape children who are not related to them than to rape their own. The foster care system is known to be full of stories of molestation of children by foster parents or the natural offspring of those foster parents. Happens all the time.

While I was one to denounce the goings on at that sect and to say that DNA tests should be done and the men should be jailed as well as the church should repay all welfare payments....I do not think foster care for 400 children, totally unschooled in the ways of an outside world is a good thing. This is a horror story for several reasons:

1. It is well known that sexual and physical abuse by both foster parents, custodians and older kids is rampant in foster care. If these kids were not abused at the ranch, almost certainly some will be abuse while in the system.

2. Of legal age or not, the state does not have the right to separate kids from their mothers without some proof of neglect or abuse. We don''t separate moms from children just because they are underage or the offspring of incest or pedophiles

3. It appears the goal by the state of Texas is to punish the children and mothers but not the men? How many of the "fathers" are in custody?

4. Why weren''t the fathers placed into custody or house arrest until it was determined who had fathered kids by underage girls? If the men were placed in custody, the women and kids could have stayed at the ranch until it all was completed. They could have stayed with ankle bracelets or with CPS supervision.

Separating the women from their children and forcing the children into the state system, makes perpetual victims AGAIN of the kids and the mothers--but not the men who created this mess in the first place. BAD IDEA.

susan heit is full of b.s, she says the mothers will give te kids to perdophiles, boys taken away...based on some stories of some bitter women and ex FLDS who has turned into stripper and drugs..may be she wanted to lead the sinful life..if all these are true, why hasn''t any men been arrested????

why are there 3 dozens of teenage boys sent to foster homes, if they usually send them out??? quitjust believing all sort of lies through the media...

how is that is it safer for the kids to go in state facilities where there has been 4 deaths??? this even for tougher kids!!! they are sending these kids toi slaughter!!!

and what are they doing to protect our kids from abuse and child molestors? dumped them back on us..go to familywatchdog.com and see how many registered live in your neighborhood??? why haven''t they arrested any of them yet, if they have any proofs, something is strange here...usually the abusive parents get jailed and the kids taken away...here we have , to the mother "go wherever you want" and the so-called abusers (all the dads) get to stay at the ranch...while the kids are being sent to some unknown and unsafe facilities to get bullied...great plans...whatever

There is a lot more to the picture than the disruption of the kids and moving them into foster care.

Look up Banking on Heaven. Or go to childbrides.org.

Or read Under the Banner of Heaven.

God Bless the Texas authorities for not putting up with this child-brainwashing, abusive, and pedophilic cult.

for those talking about a movie made..how can yo believe in movies..how do you know if it''s real and what has it to do with reality here...

why don''t you check the website and see the videos and pictures of how happy they were before the raid and how the raid traumatized them...how they did a search without a search warrant, how the kids were scared coz of all the tankers, guns etc....how would you feel having this in front of your home, scaring your kids??and having them taken away, how calm would you be???

If they have all the proofs for the courts, why haven''t they arrested the man? why are the children the only victims here and taken into strange homes or unhealthy foster homes??

from my understanding when parents abuse their kids in our society, the parents get arrested, and the kids taken away...here we just get the parents free and the kids taken away!!! why is that? is it coz they don''t have the proofs against all the parents? are all the parents abusers there??? what kind of justice is this, some of them has only one wives, little kids, some only 2 little kids,some don''t believe in early marriages, why are their kids being taken away???

the state will enevr admit that their way has traumatized these kids more than they ever have and will ever have been in their lives...

just imagine your kids going through that and being sent to some facilties, where there have been three deaths, coz cps failed to monitor them...is that a safer place...only the heartless ones would agree with this kind of actions...will the state ever admit it was wrong to take all the kids before making individual investigations..no they will persist in their cruelty to these kids and innocent parents...

Yes, I also saw "Join Us". It was incredibly informative and revealing about the mindset of cult members. It''s nice to know that some of the members were able to move on with their lives. If you get a chance, check out the the website www.joinusthemovie.com.
