Comments on: Texas To Reunite 12 Kids With Sect Parents

Families Will Be Supervised While Court Considers Appeal Of A Ruling That The State Had No Right To Take The Children

If you are following this texan mess from the beginning... the issue started when a teenager called reporting sexual and physical abuse.
The raid was supposed to be exlusive for the young teenagers at risk.
Texas did a massive raid since this cult doesn''t have birth certificates, marriage licences... or any of the legal documents REQUIRED" by law, which we all have to obey.
To add to the chaos, there are other sects of this cult in other states, where the teenagers have been "reassigned", thus to the massive search.
This is the result of years and years of letting these people get away with ilegal actions. Period.
The law is the law...
Agreed, state of Texas has massively made a big mess and chaos out of this... but I guess it''s not easy to undo so many years, so many children born that have become adults of who knows which parents and figure out all the way back.. and how old are these children since there are no legal documents to stipulate it.
As usual, children pay for the parents mistakes... it happens every single day in our lives... this is no different.
How about the young boys that are thrown out of the cult to maintain a "balance" in proportion for so many wives to each husband... where are their rights???
Easy to judge from the comfort of your home... but this is serious

Exactly right. Centuries of experience. Whether or not the discussion of other ways of doing things is bad or not, the results in 2008 show wanton violence, children having children (or getting caught in the bathroom wearing a condom because they think it''s okay), wearing crude t-shirts in school and thinking nobody would get upset... people saying it''s nobody''s business and then parading everything and demanding attention... it''s hard to condone much when our modern, near-anarchic society is the result.

Indeed, some glbt magazines even talk about if the community is "ready" for "marriage". (while the article was from ~5 years ago, nothing''s changed since then. Few want it because "wham bam thanks, now go get tested for diseases, my 50th friend with benefits" what is the majority. One reason of many why I escaped the phony style; it''s morally wrong.)

Now guys, I dont know if I am right or not, but the last time that I looked polygamy is against the law.. thus these people are committing a crime in the first place..

So has America done away with one wife one man as well???.
Wow, this opens the door to all sorts of relationships, after all it is better for a woman to have two or three husbands than it is for a man to have three or more wives, as she can keep up with them se''''xually but most men cant keep up with 3 or 4 wives, and besides imagine the money coming into the house girls.. we could live like a Queen... each man would be trying for our attention.
Of course I am joking but this is so, why not three homosexuals a lesbian a bisexual man and a bisexual woman all getting married and expecting the same laws to include them as a hetrosexual marriage, well why not you are pushing for gay marriages under the guise of they love each other and the law is discriminating if we dont let them, so why not many wives or many husbands etc..
Stupid, yes... but do away with one law and were do you stop..laws are made through logic and centuries of experience.

Send the children back without the food stamps and insurance WE are paying for and i bet the orgy will come to a stand still.

Humanovance, maybe your description of innocence is what the children had before the raid on the sect and what is being annililated now that they''re outside of it.

When I lived in texass three years ago, I was taken to a hospital for a home accident. I have a service dog for ambulatory reasons due to muscle disease and wound up at Odessa Regional hospital. My dog, of course, went with me. A nurse there paniced because she was afraid of dogs and called the police, even after she was informed of what the dog was for. The famous Odessa Sherrif''s dept. showed up, read the tag on my service dog, I even carried a script from my doctor for the dog. They were prepared to take the dog to animal control, one of them even stated he was going to make sure that my dog "disappeared" enroute to his country farm instead of taking him to animal control. four of them stood around me and my dog with stun guns, and a friend of mine there took the dog home with her because an Odessa police officer would not allow them to take the dog with them. He escorted her out to her car. The ADA representitive told me that the ENTIRE state of texass was responsible for this kind of behavior, thus enabling me to make the decision to get out of **** land and finish college in a more up to date atmosphere. That kind of fear and mentality is fueled by fear beyond description of helplessness.

I apologise in advance for this irrelevant post but I repectfully request that cpaide refrain from making gratuitous insults and make his posts more relevant to this news item, which to my mind is most gratifying as it shows that there are at least some checks on the overzealous Texas CPS bureaucrats.

Yah, they tried to help New Orleans.

Memerider, the key word is "reportedly". Reported by the agencies that carried out this raid. Why do you believe these reports? Why don''t you look and listen to the people themselves - collectively, not a stooge. Look at them in their classrooms, working on their land. Why do you want to break their community? No-one''s making you join it. And if there is an abuse, they can investigate that abuse without using it as an excuse to destroy the community and its families.

"Teresa Kelly, a spokeswoman for the parents'' lawyer, says Child Protective Services agreed on Friday to allow the parents to live with their children in the San Antonio area under state supervision."

We have no civil rights today, thanks to the current administration. It scares the he*ll out of me and if we were not retirees, we would be leaving American behind.
