Texas Sect Kids to go Home

[dalthauser]

I didn't like them taking all the kids like that based simply on a phone call in the first place.

The sad thing is that - if there is abuse going on - now it will be impossible to prove as they will cry harassment from the rooftops given what has happened - and the public will be on their side

I don't know, i think somehow those people have forfited their right to raise children. Would a six month or a year investigation prove the better? How much more destuctive behaviour take place?

I think it was pretty traumatic for the kids and their mothers to swoop on them and take them away and basically incarcerate them.

It is hard to know where parent's rights begin and end. Sure, some societal norms were broken, but then 'normal' society has some pretty crazy things going on it in too!

I am not sure what to think with that whole saga. My gut says there is some abuse going, but I think the whole thing was handled completely wrong.
