Texas harming FLDS children, Utah group says

Texas harming FLDS children, Utah group says

Texas authorities' attempts to save children from being abused at the YFZ Ranch are doing much more harm than good for the 437 children they removed from the FLDS Church property, a Utah child welfare advocacy group said Monday.

A byproduct of actions by child protective services in Texas is exposing children to a special kind of trauma, fear and mistrust that they are likely to have not known were it not for the raid at the compound, said Bonnie L. Peters, executive director of The Family Support Center

    It is remarkable that they just didn't arrest the men or the men that may have abused children. Why the mothers and children were arrested (kidnapped), is just religious persecution. A very accurate comparison is if the mothers and children in Catholic churches had been arrested or removed to foster homes because a Catholic priest had committed abuse. Of course that did not happen and this kidnapping should not be happening in Texas.
