I understand what you are saying. Perhaps if you changed the title of this thread so it stood out as different from the former one? Maybe that would help to differentiate the threads.

The allegations "are so opposite of everything we are trying to do out here," said Madeline, 54. "We brought the girls here to be safe. We are law-abiding citizens."

How can I do this?? Never Mind I got it! Ty

I am a bad person to ask for help as I rarely start threads!

Can you go to where you started the thread and see if there is still an edit option? If not I bet a mod would be able to change it for you.

ED to add- OK!

Edson Jessop was among a group of nine FLDS men who filed into court early. "We're here with one purpose and that's to get our children," he said.

Are these the ones with the least taint or less likely to be arrested for serious charges? Or did those most in charge attend? I bet Merrill Jessop isn't there!

*****BREAKING NEWS*****


State said that while raid was going on they came across a safe, that belonged to a Richard Barlow. Those records show 10 or 11 woman married as minors, or pregnant as minors! This could be very positive for the state. Court is now in recess.

As per CNN

I'm glad they found some concrete evidence. Let's see those women refute that!

Edited to add: Fox is calling it "coverage of the cult" now. regarding the documents found, the FLDS argued unsucessfully that it's a religious document. Lists ages of men and their spiritual wives.

Instead of having each case go through the courts, they have broken them down into blocks for example Boys under age 5 is "Block Blue" they represent all the boys under 5. And girls under 5 are "block _____" ect ect

Fox seems to be doing the most reporting on the case. So switched there.

State emergency has been done Already. I believe Federal emergency will be coming soon too!

:woohoo:

But!! The article also states that this has NOT been broached publicly. I seriously doubt the Judge will go for it anyway, because some or most of the women were participants in the abuse or were aware of it and did not stop it. Also, if they can be charged with bigamy or other fraud crimes, what good does it do to put the children back with the very same persons who are committing other crimes?

That's a relief...........that paragraph jumped out at me and had me concerned.

Shepard Smith - Fox News giving an update. Fox News showed the front of the courthouse, with police tape keeping the media behind a certain line...........there's a huge media presence. The reporter said that before the break for lunch, the hearing started moving forward again after being interrupted earlier.

Shepard now interviewing Kathy Nicholson, former FLDS member. He asked her about "keep sweet" and asked "does that mean shut up and take it?" and she said "you hit it on the head." She said she was sewing her own wedding dress at age 14 as preparation for her wedding. She says the boys in the family are considered a burden. They're going to do more coverage after the commercial................

I don't see how the search warrant and any evidence gathered could be thrown out. On 4/3, the original warrant was granted for CPS and DPS to go in and search for Sarah, and any documents pertaining to her, the "purported" husband, and any children from the "purported" marriage between the 2.

While conducting that search and interviews, CPS noticed other girls of teenage years that were pregnant and obtained information leading them to believe there were other cases of abuse going on. Based on that information, they briefed DPS, and DPS went back to the judge, who granted ANOTHER, BROADER search warrant for the entire compound and all documents, on 4/6. Based on the fact that CPS workers saw with their own eyes, and heard from other children that abuse was taking place, the judge granted the 2nd warrant. That is when the large-scale warrant was executed and the temple was entered.

I think TX authorities did this in a way that ensured nothing would be thrown out.

I think Texas authorities have been watching nd waiting to make their move at what they considered to be the right time ever since the FLDS set up home in the state.

they have been prepared for the race of measure and all which could be thrown at them, IMO.

GO TEXAS! :woohoo:

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

The state had every right to come in and investigate this lawyers from the attorny saying!

Thank you Floh. I appreciate and applaud your fair mindedness. :blowkiss:

Glow, when we have a forum for this case we can set up a thread or two discussing the attack upon civil liberties. if you have read me much on this thread you will know i'm 100% behind rescuing the children (from every FLDS compound/town/home if warranted), but i really DO hear you and, if you knew me personally, you'd understand me to be just about the most paranoid person alive regarding freedom of/FROM government in our lives.

we can and will examine civil liberties and what all this could crushingly mean to every day people when we get the forum. :blowkiss:

Us mere posters are unable to change thread titles, unfortunately.

Hi gitana,

Several people here have expressed the same sentiment.

On the matter of those who don't agree being so silent....

Silence doesn't always mean there is nothing valid to say. Sometimes it indicates awareness that there is no hearer to speak to.

Glow, Glow, Glow....I thought we were having a great discussion earlier on these threads, and then you abandoned me !!!! Where'd ya go? :waitasec:
