Ummm....one would hope so.
However, if its similar to my state; Texas would have had to have shown that there was
probable cause of neglect or abuse to remove the children from their parents' custody in the first place.
It's beyond my comprehension that they were able to
individually find probable cause against each mother in the sect.
Consequently, I am not so certain that Texas can deliver fair trials; especially considering the trauma and publicity that already surround this case.
The normal practice (that I am familiar with) is to ask kids questions first (without mom and dad there).
Then separate them from their parents if the answers given or facts known warrant it. But taking custody of the child before asking questions shocks me.
Give me a week and I think I could ask enough questions of young children already traumatized by their new environment and
forcefully and unexpectedly separated from their parents to implant serious doubt, confusion and perhaps even false memories in the chldren.
This is scary....
