Well, if they weren't raped before, they have been now! I'm talking about the children of the so-called "Reformed Latter Day Saints" raided on the basis of one phone call. I note that "more 50 cell phones have been confiscated..." Doesn't that indicate that the people there had pretty good access out, and were hardly being held prisoner?
The egregious crimes that "Child Protective Services" commits against families and children are unbelievable!
The assumption that because one child among 300 complained of sexual abuse means that the entire ranch of children should be "abducted by strangers" (police) "sexually assaulted" (by doctors) and held in captivity (by well meaning do-gooders who don't recognize that they are part of a government kidnapping program) is criminal.
(Notice how the media tends to use inflammatory words like "compound" about housing that is very ordinary - if a developer did it, we'd call it a subdivision. If religious people do, it's called an "enclave" or "compound")
The tone of articles about this mess makes it sound like it is unconscionable that families would want their children to dress modestly, not be raped by boys in the lav ( or science teachers in the lab), and that it is shocking that there would be parents who don't think there is anything worth watching on television.
These people thought the "the world was hostile and immoral"... well, Hello! Have you watched Youtube lately? Read the headlines? The RLDS people can hardly be considered kooks because they think things are getting pretty scary out there.
Deep breath in... out... Don't get me started!
Unfortunately, it is common practice for tyrannical government to use people on the fringes to implement disastrous policies against those who don't rely on the government, and don't conform to society's norms. I do believe that abuse may have been happening at "The ranch".
However, I don't think that dressing in pioneer dresses, home schooling, avoiding television or valuing family constitutes abuse. If these families need help with de-programming, I think it could be done without destroying their children.
May God have mercy on them all.
