It’s obviously sad for the children and the parents. Certainly what they are doing has some very serious moral and legal problems; however, that doesn’t lesson the pain they feel. For those kids, it’s the only life they’ve ever known. Now must be a very confusing time for them.
What concerns me is how easily government can inject itself into this kind of situation. No doubt this was an extreme case. But what if in our decline into moral relativism and our distancing of making laws with a Christian mindset, the government suddenly decided that certain Catholic religious orders were not to their liking? This is an extreme what if…but what if one day some lawmaker got traction with a movement to declare the teaching of the Eucharist as the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ as fraud and that any church that practiced the mass was guilty of breaking the law?
I suppose my question is at what point does the secular government get to dictate religious order?

I don’t know very much about the specifics on this case, but I would like to say this:
Polygamy is certainly wrong, but I for one see it as extremely contradictory and hypocritical that the government acts so swiftly against its adherents, while having no problem with homosexuality.

Polygamy is a crime in Texas and the men are the ones who will put on trial for these crimes. What concerns me is that there are no birth cetificates to these children and there is know way of knowing which child belongs to which mom and dad. For me that is a real issue that needs to be addressed.
I heard that the state is suggesting DNA testing, but what is it going to be used for? Is it going to be used a evidence against the men or is it going to be used to see which child belongs to whom?
If there is evidence of molestation/child abuse, then I hope that these adults will be put on trial.
I saw an interview with 3 women from the compound and it seemed like the are programed to think and talk a certain way. The one thing that I could think of was, “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”
