How Young Teens Are Different From Older Millennials
FLDS kids likely going home
Filed under: In The News
Judges ruled earlier this week that at least some of the more than 400 children recently removed from the Yearning For Zion ranch will be returning home. In an unusual move, the appellate court said that Texan authorities had no proof that the children were in immediate danger of abuse, the criteria needed to legally separate children from their parents.The decision involved the children of 38 mothers. But attorneys say that for all practical matters, it applies to all of the families involved as well. Texas child welfare authorities are scrambling to figure out their next step, but the children will likely start returning home in the next 10 days.
When that happens, I'm sure that the mothers and fathers of the FLDS sect will be rejoicing in both the return of their children and their victory over the system. But as they celebrate, a nervous nation will also be watching, wondering if the right decision has been made or if we've just sent another generation of girls back into the lion's den.

J said...Sigh. Those poor kids. As imperfect as the child protective services are, I can't help but think that they're still better off being kept away from that compound..

For the real story on CPS. The public needs to wake up because this is happening all over the US but it doesn't grab media attention when it should. For more visit www.falseallegation.org to read other horror stories other than my own.

One father said it's not abuse for a child and a man to kiss on the mouth (hello, did you see those pictures?) those were passionate kisses people. Sick. Sick. Sick.

Suzanne said...You're looking at 400+ future lawsuits against the state when these kids go straight back into that abusive lifestyle. The "mind your own children" comment is not just laughable, it's downright sad. These kids don't have a voice, and they're so brainwashed they believe that beatings go hand in hand with love, marriage, and family. How can anyone think that marrying off a child to some dirty old man is right? Joseph Smith sure found a nice way to justify his disgusting practices, which for the record included visiting prostitutes on a regular basis. Apparently if you're the prophet of the day, you can do whatever you want and call it a "revelation from God". Read 'Under the Banner of Heaven' by Jon Krakauer, incredibly enlightening and TRUE.
