So you agree with sending those 450 kids back to their parents instead putting them in foster care indefinitely?
Me too.
If they are not in danger I think its best they are with their families. And I do emphasize the plural here. I think the government is too quick to yank kids away from their homes without proper information. It seems very unfair.
Yeah, I don’t believe that because you’re a polygamist you abuse your children (like the state is saying). I dont see how multiple partners would affect your love and affection for your child. I was watching the news tonight and one of the mothers was just a mess of tears. But it’s the kids i’m especially worried about, this shouldn’t be happening to them at all.
I agree with the idea that if the kids weren’t abused, they should rightfully be with their parents. However, I think the main idea of the action was to save underage, pregnant, married-against-their-will, 14 year old girls. Which, I honestly think is sick and seems to be a miserable life based on accounts of former polygamist girls. So in that case, yeah, intervene (I guess). Then again, the question arises of how far can the government go when it comes to family life and what is seen as “right”?
I agree that the government doesn’t really get the whole story before taking action, though.
I am totally with you. Every time I turn around, CPS is wrongfully taking children from their parents. I don’t trust them at all, in fact, I’m quite scared of them. I feel for those poor mothers. CPS gets more federal money for every family they tear apart, so there’s motive to find fault where none exists.
I think polygamy is disgusting, and I think God does, too, but that has little to do with ripping these kids from the only family and life they’ve known based on a feather of “evidence.”
Not to mention, for about 6000 years, teenage girls were married to older men. I don’t think it’s right in a society and culture like ours, but it’s not like it’s some bizarre new thing.
Yeah Liz! I was thinking the same thing – in the not so far past, it was quite normal and acceptable for very young girls to marry. While I think this is a bit creepy, it used to be the norm.
