What a difficult decision Texas has to go through.
Although Texas may be concerned about another Waco, and I do agree children should be protected... it does concern me the state came in and removed 400+ children on the basis of one phone call and they supposedly still haven't found that girl. The media is provided limited information and then the public gets what's left... still...
I guess the part that bothers me the most is they removed hundreds of children and they did not have allegations on most of them.
If they can't "prove" abuse, neglect, or anything illegal against a child to the extent the law requires then the child(ren) should be returned.
Unfortunately due to the number of children that came in at once, lack of specific allegations on many of the children to investigate, slow court system, etc these children/families will likely not be afforded due process in the time frame the law provides... and I don't think that is fair.
Doesn't mean I agree with their beliefs or their teachings.
