There should have been enough evidence to require DNA samples of every single person in that community. If they did not have enough evidence for that, then surely there is NO compelling reason to steal all the children! The media and Texas is spinning this big time... "The state Texas intends to place all the children in foster care" What?? Without evidence??

The evidence was the under age girls who were pregnant.

BTW-- I am sure there is little doubt that some crimes have been committed.

They do not have the eveidence to take the men because no one has been offering up who the rapists are (the men who actually impregnated the girls) as far as I know. That is why they were questioning the women and children.

BTW, I have seen several references to these being peaceful people, I have to assume that some of you do not know the history of this particular group. This is part of the sect, Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints headed by Warren Jeffs, who has controlled a couple of towns, Colorado City, Arizona, and Hildale, Utah, for years.

I have watched several documentaries and read numerous articles over the years on this group and while the people living in this compound may be peaceful, (if you don't count the raping and beating of young girls of course), this is a very scary, very menacing bunch. In Colorado City they control everything and if you do not belong there, they will usher you out of town very quickly. You are followed from the moment you enter the town. The group in Texas may operate differently only because it is all on private property, they don't have to worry about outsiders as much.
