Again, this is after the fact. I'm sure the authorities acted in the manner they felt was best given the unknown circumstances.

The Mrs- The issue is about assigning collective guilt to the whole community because of the actions of a handful of people, if that.
A second issue goes to the very flimsy evidence they had before they began DNA testing. Could/or would that have been authorized if the phone call was known to be a hoax?
A third issue would go to how responsible we should hold mothers given the environment they were themselves raised in.
A fourth issue goes to what Texas could have done to prevent this sudden trauma and upheaval of the children.
For instance having meetings with all teenagers and letting them know there was life on the outside and a way out when they wanted; and letting the community know they would be monitored regarding future marriages and collective guilt by association.
The bottom line is that I have never seen or heard of taking out a whole community because of child abuse of a few children at the hands of specific individuals. What is going on in your church or neighborhood?
