I'm not saying they're always right, but it's much better to err on the side of the child.
excellent point, what happens is too many folks operate in Extremes and either side is dangerous

for child services to take kids with no real case is wrong, but for child custody to do nothing is real wrong as well

i live in Washington DC, the lastest case we have is of a mother with 4 KIDS WHO SHE KILLED and their bodies were kept in thier home for over 4months, in their beds,

their bodies were so decomposed they could not ID them

http://www.sptimes.com/2008/01/11/Worldandnat...

there needs to be a balance sad to say i know folks who work in child services- DC like so many other cities will spend $600,000, 000 for a stadium, for Millionaires to play in and Billionare Owners not to have to drop a dime many times-------but will not hire 10 MORE CASE WORKERS

SO what happens is the folks there become overworked with 100's of cases they can't monitor, frustrated and the best folks will quit- leaving behing too many times folks who just want a chk and now you have a recipe for trouble

Many years ago I had a friend who fired her babysitter for driving around town with her 2 and 4 year old children in the trunk of her car. She fired the lady the day it happened when she was told by her 4 year old when she went to pick up the kids. Being on short notice, a friend of hers who was a stay at home mom offered to babysit the kids. Two weeks later, cps showed up at the door to take the children. The fired sitter had called and said the kids were being left at home alone. My friend blocked the door while her husband called the new sitter and her husband over to the apartment. When they got there, the CPS agent (who was new to this county) threatened to have them arrested for interference. That is when the new sitters husband spoke for the first time. He asked one question. "Do you know who I am". The agent replied she couldn't give a rip who he was. I guess she almost wet herself when he said, "I am the judge you will be taking this before in the morning. My wife is their sitter, I suggest you leave now."
That was the end of it, my friend is convinced until this day if she had a different sitter, she would have been put through hell without cause. The cps agent didn't care about the truth, only the allegation.
I would have calld the police on the fired babysitter. Not waited for her to seek revenge. Why did she put the kids in the trunk?

I promised GOD that I wouldn't write so many or not at all comments, but I feel somewhat strong after afew days in the hospital, so I am going to comment on the "Mormons situation." I think that the "sect" should advice their legal represenative (lawyer) to invoke [the seventh tabernacle laws} these are the laws I am told that have protected religions from time of birth of our US Constitution rights. I am not to familiar with this invocation, but I believe that it states that church and state have no constitutional relationship whatsoever, meaning religion and believes including polygamy are not the state's problem (Abraham was a polygamist) he had many wives and one chief wife, if the Mormons have one chief wife over other wives then they are complying with Texas matrimonial laws...so use your seventh tabernacle law rights, and keep using the services of the court what else can you do when you live in a shoe, love ya! from Barry Kitchkeesic-Wynn

and a good many times they give children back to parents they shouldn't of, and that's why you find them on a slab in the morgue!

We're not in Mexico. This happened in America, a place where we supposedly have laws to protect the innocent.
I feel for these children. Through no fault of their own they have been thrown into controversy. While the parents 'may' be guilty (hasn't been proven), the children suffer the consequences.
Keeping them away from their parents may be the only way to protect them until all the facts are in.

Read more about the origins and practices of this cult. They were founded in the 1930's and were kicked out of the Mormon religion because of their sexual practices and twisted dogma. Basically, this group was founded by pedophiles to have their way with minors, the religion, or at least their own twisted version of it, was used mainly as a brainwashing tool for this purpose.
Young males are often unceremoniously kicked out of the sect, thus leaving the younger females at the mercy of the elder males. DNA testing has shown that the members of the sect are very inbred, going back several generations. Genetic disease and mental retardation are endemic in the sect. So in addition to the brainwashing, the members were prevented from leaving, especially the females who were forced to bear several children, thereby assuring that they would not try to flee. The mothers of the children did not think that the forced marriage and rape of minors was abuse because they thought that this was normal.
The sect supported itself largely through the cheap and coerced labor of it's trapped members. The fact that this situation was allowed to continue for 70 years may be one of the biggest tragedies in this case.
Thanks for a sane, unemotional look at the facts. I think we tend to forget facts when we are emotionally challenged by them.

We need to keep our liberal agenda of personal freedoms alive at the forefront of America's bedrooms.
It's only the uptight neoCON old barn owl ladies that want to tell us what to do in our own bedrooms..
Down with that SHYT!! I Say DOWN with it!
Consenting adults in the bedroom are not in question here. Raping little girls (and perhaps boys) who have not anywhere near reached the maturity to have sex is the topic.
It's nice that you protest for things you believe in. But becoming a fundie for one side is no better than becoming one for the other.

You've been reading too much Ayn Rand.
While these children are suffering the consequences of their parent's possible actions, they are not being exposed to it.
Why don't you consider that side instead of just 'the government is wrong'? In all liklihood, there are those in government agencies handling this who actually care what happens to the children and want to see anyone who has hurt them punished.
We have a legal system in this country set up to protect the innocent. Why not let it work?

The FDLS Church is pedophilia in the GUISE of religion. No one cares how many sex partners other people have - FORCED sex is what this cult is about as well as child abuse/neglect.

By the way - since you are from Canada - what are our Canadian neighbors doing with the FDLS?- I read that there are more there than here, and that young girls from Canada are often "reassigned" to men here in the U.S.

You don't have to go across the border. You can find that in any city in the US, with the possible exception of Salt Lake City.
One out of four teenage girls has an STD and that number again are pregnant. We aren't in much of a place to preach to this cult.
Where is CPS?

Could you please provide the statistics for teenage brothels in America? I'd really like to see those.

No one posting here seems overly knowledgable of the facts involved. There's a lot of emotion and little else. It might add to the understanding of what's going down to know that during the Clinton administration in DC a statute was passed which grants $10,000 (I believe that's the amount) to any state "child protection agency" each time they get a kid adopted by someone. Now, in case you've forgotten how to reason, before a kid can be adopted by someone not its real parent, it has to be separated from its real parent and the real parents' rights destroyed. For all of you who see this as a great thing, take it from someone who grew up in an orphanage even though my mother was still alive (but destitute during the depression after my dad was killed on a WPA job), no matter the failings of your natural parents, you want to be with them, not some stranger. Since when does government have first rights on children rather than their natural parents? If they can take one child from its parents for "cause" they can take every child from its parents for "cause." Talk about insanity! Too many of you think only the memebers of the sect are off kilter. You'd better get back to government 101 unless you love your slavery chains.

Am I understanding you correctly - are you saying that we have brothels in the US that FORCE teenage girls/boys into sexual relations?

You are not breaking new ground here - we've covered this before more than once.

We KNOW that the Federal government pays the States such and such for each child adopted.

Most of us also do not believe - not for even a second - that the State of Texas would remove 420 children from the parents - JUST FOR THE MONEY!!!
This concept is absolutely absurd.

I do not believe anyone on this board - myself included - has been running solely on emotion - there are way too many facts out there on this case.

I understand what you are saying about kids longing to be with their real parents as opposed to the adoptive ones.It makes sense to me.
But in some cases,the kids are better off with adopted parents.
If they are seriously being abused by their real parents,thenthey obviously need to be away from that type of environment.And would be better of in a loving adopted home.
My father was in foster care from the age of 12,right till he turned 18.The reason was because his father died and his mother was beating him and his sisters.
Now i also understand not every foster parent is great either,some are wonderful,some are horrific.
But if true abuse is going on in a kids home,he needs to be removed unfortunetly.But i do know it is tough,My dad still tells me stories of his childhood,and the stories are not happy.
