Against the FLDS in Texas.
Too often, "liberals" just say, "Child molestation is bad, and I don't care for the philosophy of this or that Church, so who cares what happens at Fill in the Blank (First Waco, and now The FLDS compound) But instead, I always remember the proverb of "First they came for the communists, but I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Union leaders, but I wasn't a Union leader etc." I get upset regardless of who they come for.
Rumors are spreading across the internets that Blackwater served as the police force that separated the women from the children. For whatever reason it was deemed far better to take the children away from their parents and put them in shelters and foster care than to arrest those who might have been guilty of bedding down with underage children.

The most disturbing part of this entire episode is the follow-up of this story. Since April 8th, when the airwaves were blasted with video of the women being “rescued” and the church compound almost 24/7, the reports from the area abruptly stopped.
This just happened to occur at the same time that authorities admitted that they couldn’t find the “mystery caller”. I can’t believe that I am the only person in the country wondering what has happened since. I have a hard time understanding why the networks aren’t asking the government why they had to trample on the Bill of Rights. I want to know where the women who were “rescued” are now. I want to know if The First Baptist Church is still caring for them. I want to know why they couldn’t wait until they had solid evidence before they pulled this raid.
I want to know if anyone was disciplined for violating just about every amendment that comprises the Bill of Rights. Most importantly however, I want to know why the mainstream media has not followed up on this critically important story. #######################################
As far as the last two sentences - I add my own personal "Amen!"
How come these police (or whoever) are taking actions tantamount to punishing/arresting the innocents involved? Why not go after the adult male perps?
Why do the network news people fail to ask the important questions? People, this is a police action on our soil.
In my opinion, we all need to think abt this. You go to a peace demonstration to protest the coming war in Iran. And a week later, your kids are taken from you because a lady, no identity offered, at a pay phone in Denver says she knows that you and your spouse are molesting your children. And that therefore the authorities are gonna put your kids in homeless shelters or in foster care. And if you have a problem with that, you can go molest yourself!!
