I think this case is a travesty, personally, and hear me out. let me first state that I have absolutely no affiliation with any organized religion, but I am a person of strong faith.
Granted the state went in based on a phone call of yet unknown origin and found evidence of children in danger. In spite of the clearly increasingly dubious nature of that call, there is clearly a situation in the compound that needs to be sorted out-ie teenagers who are pregnant and possibly married below the age the law allows in TX.
That being said, I cannot for the life of me figure out why, after the dna swabs were taken, it is AT All justified to separate these women from their babies, further traumatizing these children who are already being exposed to food and a lifestyle that they know nothing about. WTF???? By all means, Texas, when you have the lowest rated schools in the country and the highest number of children without healthcare, spend millions of dollars overburdening the fostercare system with children who have established parents and are too young to have been victimized in the way the state is allegeding???
I don't buy it-I don't care if the women are not cooperating and are being obstructive-fine, charge them all once the parentage is sorted out for the children. WS'ers how many stories have we read here about foster parents who abuse the children in their care? These children are uniquely vulnerable having been raised so far from the world as we know it....it isn't right, it is atrocious and I would be picketing in TX if I did not live on the east coast.
