The ones under age are being moved already and most have already been placed in different cities in foster care/shelters.. My aunt actually helped to get ready for a group of them to be transfered to a Ft Worth area local...
I am sure they are going to find evidence of rape and if they do not.. I will say I am wrong but my uncle was involved with this exact group for years... way back when before he passed and I know how they work and it is sick and sad but I am betting that they will find more minors raped than not.... Its their way.. sadly enough!
These people are sick and they do NOT deserve to have these children back at all if they are doing these things...
As for how this was handled.. I believe remarkably well considering how Waco turned out... we have far advanced from that... and the area this occured in is not that advanced culturally honest,... Very different atmosphere in that area anywho without this even being thrown in the mix..
As for someones comment about CPS not taking children of druggies and hookers yada yada... Well you havent been to Texas apparently. They are very quick at it here! I know of 2 cases where within 4 days of receiving notification of certain things occuring... CPS contacted and jumped and did their things needed and those children were removed from that situation. They are very quick to act.

1. What has this got to do with most of the children and parents? Why do they have the youngest children now? There have been no allegations of sexual abuse of young children. Where is the immediate danger for most of these children but for not caring for their religous ideas?
2. Even if Texas finds evidence that some parents allowed teenage girls to "wed" that doesn't justify removing and traumatizing hundreds of children; especially given that they were ill-equipped to handle such a thing.
3. As of 2004 it was legal to marry a 14 year old in Texas. As of 2007; Texas had the higest teen pregnancy rate in the nation. In fact, one out of four teenage births was to a minor mother who had already given birth at least one other time. Did they take those children away? I think not.
4. I don't believe this is the same group your uncle knew. One can never step into the same river flow twice. I would also point out that it would be very unfair to judge a typical Apostolic church by snake handlers in the Ozarks.
5. The group prayed instead of taking up arms to defend themselves. The credit for peacefulness under extreme duress should go to the community not Texas.
6. I believe the writers intent about drugs and prostitutes went to the opportunity to get the kids back instead of automatically filing for termination.
Finally, I would ask you to go and view this website....
