Polygamist parents, children begin reunions
SAN ANGELO, Texas - More than 400 children taken from a polygamist sect’s ranch two months ago began returning to the arms of their tearful parents Monday, hours after a judge bowed to a state Supreme Court ruling that the seizure was not justified.
“It’s just a great day,” said Nancy Dockstader, whose chin quivered and eyes filled with tears as she embraced her 9-year-old daughter, Amy, outside a foster-care center in Gonzales, about 65 miles east of San Antonio. “We’re so grateful.”
…Child Protective Services removed all the children from the ranch after an April 3 raid prompted by calls to a domestic abuse hot line that purportedly came from a 16-year-old mother who was being abused by her middle-age husband. The calls are now being investigated as a hoax, but authorities contended all the children were at risk because church teachings pushed underage girls into marriage and sex.
If you read my other post … you will understand my position on this. I am so glad to see that the government actually stood up for these families. Again, I need to repeat. I do NOT agree with the teaching, nor the lifestyle, of the FLDS church. However, I do have a problem with the state coming in and taking these children and ripping apart these peoples lives when they had no right to do so.
I also mentioned in my previous post, these allegations were based on a hoax. My gosh, what if the government suddenly had a unsubstantiated problem with you and your family. Would you want them to come barging in at gunpoint and take your family away from you based on a hoax? Please read my other article as it relates to the banner on the side of my blog. Habeas Corpus!
