It seems that there is more egg on the face of CPS employees in TX.
More “underage” girls have been proved to be of age.
Why keep bringing this up? After all, you don’t believe that the FLDS are truly right in their theology and practice do you? No, I do not believe that.
So why keep bringing this up?
For two reasons:
1. CPS and other government agencies often do not truly approach their cases with the idea that folks are innocent until proven guilty.
2. Because I do not believe that it is in the interests of any religious group that the government be given the right to define and regulate “cults.” If they are, then anyone (Christians included) can be classified as a cult by the government and then regulated, legislated, and litigated out of existence. We must understand that this is more about the freedom to exercise one’s religion than it is about the children. If it were about the children then the mothers and children would be together, because at this point I know of no proof of the children’s being abused.
Just musing…
