The kids weren't being held in solitary. Their locations were and are known. The foster parents caring for them are not interrogators or wardens. The comparison to Gitmo is unhelpful. And it puts Gitmo in a much better light than it should be held in. Gitmo is not a foster home. It's a torture facility. Are we clear on that?

Texas did make huge mistakes in its intervention, and rushed in without a well thought out plan of investigation. But there are things, other than the allegations of sexual abuse, which likely spurred officials to act. There have been accusations by former cult members of psychological and physical abuse of infants, and there is a very strange discrepancy in the number of adolescent boys versus girls. I think it's that last one, the missing boys, that was really at the heart of the state action, and why Texas has been mostly intent with counting and identifying children.
