I will not condemn CPS agencies throughout this country, some are very good, some are not. The ones that get the most press are of course the agencies/workers that are not good. CAPTA which was originally written and passed in the early '70s was necessary legislation. If parents are abusing and/or neglecting their children then who better but law enforcement agencies to do the job of protecting our youngest citizens? The problem, as I see it, has been that over the years CAPTA has been rewritten several times. So much so that it has become more "feel good" legislation than it is good legislation. I'm not sure what will happen in Texas. I don't know what the states' entire evidence is nor what Texas law requires CPS workers to prove before they remove children from a home. Those children may well be turned back to their parents and the state may well drop their charges. Personally I believe the ex-FLDS members who speak of child abuse happening on a regular basis. I also believe ex-FLDS members who speak of brainwashing and other tactics to keep cult members in line. It is also my belief that if it turns out those Texas CPS workers, local law enforcement and the judge that signed the warrant to go in to that compound were wrong in what they did that the feds will proceed with an investigation of it's own. ONE of the alphabet gov't. depts. is going to do an investigation of that compound. There seems to be too much evidence floating around for the feds to continue to look the other way when it comes to this cult. Being that the FLDS compounds are spread out over several western states it gives the feds even more reason to start pokin' around.
