For the people of MHMR to speak out and lose their jobs over the children of FDLS means that the CPS workers are behaving like they are diabolically possessed. This should put to rest any doubts that CPS is not treating the FDLS children hatefully.

This Texas CPS bunch have become worse than gestapo. They apparently answer to no one and disregard due process at will.
If they were the least bit credible, it might be different, but researching them shows in 2006 alone there were over 60 cases of rape, molestation, etc. to kids in their "care". This is only the stuff that gets reported, not to mention the cases of abuse...including death...of children while in their clutches. Someone important must be on the recieving end of some serious money here for an organization like this to exist another day.
I pray I never become brainwashed to the point that I think it's somehow ok for an organization like this to operate in this country.

This is ironic since its so obvious that the Mental Health workers agree about the misconduct of those at the Texas CPS who think that they are above the law and above giving people due process and feel as though they are the ones who decides what is in the best interest of these children. It seems like the MHMR workers took a big risk but were willing to do the right thing and stand up to CPS and their gross misconduct.
The total abuse of power by CPS and by this rogue judge has to be checked and its time that voters like these realize that simply because they can vote doesn't give them the right to act as tyrants or kidnap over 400 children without proof of guilt on the part of their parents.
This debate could go on for years but these tyrants always seem to win because all they have to do is act like themselves and start throwing punches and the good guys like MHMR are left helpless. How much more must we take from our neighbors before we get fed up. It't time for Jane and John of CPS to go home.

Don't forget their friends in the judge who issued the warrant and the voters who agree with them. It is outrageous that such conduct is allowed to take place in this country but it does.
According to CPS, because some of the members of their Church including some of the leaders of that Church abused children they all deserved to have their children taken from them. This doesn't happen with Catholics when their pedophile priests abuse children. It's those FLDS who are going to be taught a lesson about how mainstream religions are protected by the 1st amendment while theirs isn't.
Apparently the 1st amendment protects the right of Catholics, Protestants and every other religion that conforms to the official religious practices of the majority while the 1st amendment doesn't protect the rights of anyone non-mainstream Churches.
If you send your child to a Catholic church and she is molested by the priest don't worry since your other children being taken but if you are FLDS voters from the mainstream religions will show you. You are safe Catholics!!!
