Not questioning the biased reporting, just the ownership. Having that as a misstatement can rile up a buch of folks who don't need further "riling".
Given all that you have shared of your life, I hope you do get to go down there to counter some of the brainwashing.
I will be going down after the 17th once they know how many kids theya re working with. Will update that situation as I knwo more.
In the desertnews article

Kids getting sick. Again the chicken pox issue, incubation period would have been prior to the children being taken into custody. And yes, kids placed close together in an envirment will pass minor illnesses around. Most mothers who have multiple kids, kids in day care or going to schools know that.
Crying children. Anybody ever have a kid go to camp? Or going to stay with grandparents? Sometimes they do get homesick at night. And yes, one crying kid will often being a round of crying in the other children- many parents note that when they have kids in day care. Not peculiar to these kids.
The "Dorothy" that talks seems resentful that she has to comfort kids. If she doesn't like it, she can go home.
Workers walk the shelter at night. I have worked in a hospital and in emergency shelters. Yes, sometimes you have to respond to needs at night. Sometimes you have persons who are wakeful. Sometimes you need to check on ones that may appear to be becoming ill. Had they not done that the FLDS would call them neglectful.
Children in close contact, causing delays in putting the kids down at night. Yes, probably true.
Most of the complaints the FLDS are making would be true of almost every abused child who is removed from their parents. Except in this case, some of the parents were allowed to go with them. Instead of counting their blessings about that, they are complaining.
I feel we really DO need some clarification here. It would appear, per the Wikepedia information on Deseret News, that the newspaper is owned by the LDS church through subsidiary companies. It's the oldest newspaper in the state and is considered conservative in it's reporting.
The Deseret News has NO affiliation with the FLDS.
It would appear that in reading the comments from readers of the newspaper, that there are FLDS supporters/sympathizers among the newspaper's readership.

MONTEZUMA COUNTY - Law enforcement in southern Colorado are closely watching a known polygamist religious group in the town of Mancos.
Floh, thanks for bringing that over. I was writing a second one while you all were opening the new thread and I wasn't aware of it.
My point is that alone, the articles are heartrending. But when you look at each point, their complaints are mostly either baseless or a condition of their own making.
