I am placing a personal option!~

The removing of mothers and their children form the family sitting in the great state of Texas. What is going on here? What have I missed? The police went into several homes, removed the mothers and their children. No violence, no confrontation, just cooperation. A bus driver on one of the buses used to transport mothers and children was asked, what did they do once on your bus? They sang church songs. Have you taken the time to look at the news pictures of these ladies? Don’t they look a great deal like old time Holiness women?
Was or has the sixteen year old that made the primary call been found? Just a wild thought, was there a sixteen year old or was someone wanting to get inside that compound? Has anyone heard any part of her 911 call? Has anyone hear of any evidence of abuse, with the exception of young ladies being “forced” into early marriage?
This morning I pulled this from the Washington Post dated April 24, “SAN ANGELO, Tex., April 23 -- The phone calls that triggered a massive raid on a polygamist compound in west Texas -- in which a quavering girl's voice described being forcibly married at 15 -- have been linked to a Colorado woman with a history of making false claims of sexual abuse, according to an affidavit filed in Colorado Springs.” Now what is going to happen to this situation in Texas? Can it all be put back together or will the state continue on its path of, “the state knows best.”
Please remember that not to far back in our history many times a young lady married an older man (?). Has anyone heard of the children being abused? Or, has the great state of Texas stepped in just to to, I have no idea what they want to prove. Now they are separating these mothers form all of their children, except those under one year of age. NO! I do not agree with one man being married to, or to have multiply wives. I remember in days gone by that this was a common practice. Why? It was used to help preserve a family, a nation or a religion.
Allow me a few moments to reflect on these children. They have been separated from their mother and father. They have been told that they, mom and dad, that their parents had done some wrong. They are forced into new homes and families, different set of religious and cultural standards. They will be forced to adapt to a completely new standard and way of life, with the real possibility of being very different from what and how they were taught until just a few weeks ago. What is the spiritual, cultural, social and emotional trauma that these children and young people must endure?
If this gets through the wonderful court system and they keep these families separated, what next. Might you or I see the time when the wonderful courts might come into our homes because they heard we are abusing our children by keeping them form a certain T.V. show, certain movies, some video games, premarital sex, the choice is yours.

MY QUESTION IS WHAT NEXT AND WHERE?
