Re: Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...

According to earlier reports they have found and talked to the underage girl who placed the call.
Why not only take those individuals and children involved in the confirmed abuse cases and leave those children and parents where no abuse is present alone?
There are too many cases where the CPS doesn't act quickly enough and everyone critcizes them. Here they felt for the safety of the children they needed to remove them all to get the facts/truth. Again they are critcized. Regardless of what CPS does it is never going to please everyone.

I have mixed feelings on this - Ideally I would like to see the children who haven't been abused or whose parents don't intend marrying them off before they are of age returned home but when they reach that "magic age" what kind of life is this for them? No true love, no having that one special person just for yourself, no soul mate. It's no better than being a wife with a husband who cheats right in front of you. How many of you (women) would be happy with that kind of life?

Today when the 3 women were asked (women twice, attorney once) how old the girls were when they were allowed to marry they stumbled around with their answer and never did answer. If the girls are not minors then why was it so hard to answer the question?

Someone posted earlier something about...next UPC....I have never heard anyone from CPS say that they raided the compounded because of the women's dress. (And last I heard the UPC church was not encouraging underage marriage.) CPS raided the compound because of a phone call alleging abuse. (And UPC has had their fair share of these same calls, one in my area just few months ago) The media is the one making the big deal about their looks, demeanor and dress not the CPS.

A news report this morning stated that 7 (I think this is the correct number) women did not want to return to the compound. I am sure CPS is getting plenty of information from them to build their case.

How many men would be happy if their teenager daughter met one of these older men and decided to go into this lifestyle. Would you think that CPS overstepped their boundaries then?
