Comments on: What Did The FLDS Kids Do To Deserve This?

Ben Stein Says Texas Authorities Are Acting Like The Gestapo By Taking Away The Children Of A Mormon Sect

The question now is; What can I do to get a list of these children and where they have been taken, and a list of the mothers? I am ready to help reunite these mothers with their children, we need to organize and develop a plan before these children are gone forever from their mothers. What can I do to help.

Ben said, "I am not a fan of polygamy." Joking about not keeping up with ONE wife is very immature. These men have been brain-washing their women for centuries. This is not the case of some random woman saying "Oh sure, I''ll be your second, or third or seventh wife." These girls are handed out like prized cattle by the leadership.

Ben said, "The authorities knew about it, and them. They didn''t do a thing about it for all those years!" So Ben thinks that all laws that have not been enforced in the past should then never be enforced.

Ben said, "... it''s not the Mormons who are the criminals, it''s the government of Texas." Criminals are those that commit acts such as child rape not government employees who are trying to resolve a horrible situation where a small group of old men are exerting enormous power, both psychological and sexual, over an entire community.

Shame on you, Ben Stein, for being such an anti-government mouthpeice. Why don''t you go blow up a federal building in protest!

I haven''t met anyone in favor of 14-year-olds being impregnated by older men. But when are the Texas Rangers going to raid the Dallas inner-city homes of pregnant 14-year-olds and cart off the other children, who might be subject to similar abuse? And when will they shutter the Planned Parenthood locations which refuse to report statutory rape of 14-year-olds by men in their twenties? Why isn''t there equal treatment under Texas'' law?



The locals in Eldorado were worried about the FLDS taking over the county, so State Rep. Harvey Hilderbran sponsored a bill in 2005 that raised the legal age of consent to marry in Texas from 14 to 16. This was specifically targeted against the FLDS. When the FLDS moved to Texas the legal age was 14.


Note how the Texas Child Protective Service implies that 18 is the legal age. The CPS can%u2019t be trusted and can%u2019t be trusted with foster children. Two-thirds of their foster children are on mind-altering drugs. Wouldn%u2019t the FLDS children be better off if they were returned to their mothers. Prosecute the men who fathered children with %u201Cwives%u201D 15 or less and let the others alone.

31 CPS workers out of 53 are PATHOLOGICAL LIARS.

CPS'' spinmeisters are busy at work.

What is the precise age of EACH of the teen agers who are - allegedly - pregnant;

Were those medical allegation(s) confirmed by doctors who are NOT part of the gestapo network? Who are they?

The bureaucrats are merely trying to save face ; trying to avoid a fiasco

A total of 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 are in state custody after a raid 3 1/2 weeks ago at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado. Of those girls, 31 either have children or are pregnant, said Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar. He didn''t specify how many are pregnant.

If you find a single 15 year-old who is having *** with a 40 year old man, you would not think twice about removing her and an arrest may soon follow. That''s why we have CPS(Child Protective Services). When you discover that 53% of girls age 15 - 17 are pregnant or have had babies by men over 40, you have entered a new level of appalling. For those who say that nothing should have been done until charges were filed, the fact that arrests haven''t been made is a sad commentary to the justice system but should not stop CPS from doing their job. I have never been a fan of taking kids from mothers who did nothing but in this case, that''s the problem. They did nothing!

No wonder I don''t watch CBS! I don''t know who Ben Stein is (another Rush Limbaugh on drugs). Sounds to me that this ignorant, narrow minded, reporter wants to be a male member of the FLDS. Taking minors out of an environment which abuses children from birth should not be tolerated anytime. The only reason "the so called mothers" want their children back is so they can collect welfare checks to give to their spiritual husbands, "Bleeding the Beast%u201D it%u2019s called. Some of these children were transported to YFZ breeding farm.
It cracks me up the FLDS have pictures of Warren Jeffs, (the jail bird in for child abuse of minors and other disgusting things) on every bedroom wall, room, hallway or where ever else they can fit one. What caring parents have pictures of child molesters all over their house? The older men throw the boys out on the streets when they turn the legal age to be married!Hey Ben gotta any kids? The children raised on this ranch will definitely have psychological and genetic health problems. Ben I guess inbreeding doesn''t bother you; make sure you let your kids know that it''s OK, by you, for them to have intimate relationships with their closest relatives. GOD BLESS TEXAS for taking on this task to provide freedom and a chance of a good "quality of life for these 460+ kids. To all of the caretakers for the YFZ kids, you have my total admiration and support,unlike the reporter of this article.

Was there a conspiracy by all the FLDS members.

More from the Salt Lake Tribune dated 4/28/2008:

Chisholm said a master list of placements is missing names of two children taken from the ranch and TRLA has so far been unable to determine their location.
She also said mothers who were nursing children older than 12 months were told their toddlers would be kept close by so they could continue to nurse or provide breast milk for them.
But some of those toddlers have been moved hundreds of miles away and Texas Child Protective Services has not yet given permission for the mothers to visit them.
"I''ve been scrambling for the past two days to find out the name of the person I need to call to get permission for my client to enter that facility to nurse her children," said Chisholm, who represents four mothers. "All we''ve been told is to wait until Monday when they assign caseworkers to individual families."
Some mothers have been unable to confirm where their children have gone and others have learned their children have been split up and sent to different locations. TRLA learned Sunday that a child thought to be in a group home was actually in a hospital.
Some mothers, Chisholm said, "are trying to, sadly, figure out which child needs them more, a child in the hospital or a nursing baby," she said
