I do feel terrible for the grieving mother's who are missing their children, as do I feel for the children who are missing their mom's and dad's and have anxiety and fear related to their separation.

However, if these mothers are allowing their daughters to be married to men three times their age - which implies that their daughters are also having sex with these men - then I believe that these mothers are directly involved in child abuse. These young girls clearly cannot speak for themselves, and a mother who allows her child to be sexually abused by a man who may even be older than she is NOT acting in the best interest of her child. I understand that these women are presumably being oppressed and do not have much in the way of standing up for themselves, but it truly comes down to what is right and what is wrong - and failing to protect your child, in my heart & mind, is wrong, and it qualifies as abuse.

I see the removal of these children as an opportunity to provide them with a new life - long-term foster care would be an incredible adjustment for these children, but, in the long term, it will prevent these young girls from sexual abuse and it will ultimately be a step towards breaking this cycle of brainwashing and abuse.
