I totally agree with Sethsmommy. Until we know the whole truth, all the children have to be protected. That is how the system is designed! The investigation is taking a while and will take even longer as long as there is little cooperation. They have to do just as other moms and dads who lose their children to the state.

I have to say that the state is really trying hard to be fair to the people of the ranch and they are trying to respect their religion and way of life. The kids are being sent to shelters that have been preparing for them by changing their menus, taking out certain colors (the color red was mentioned) and other things. THey do not do this for every single child that is brought into the system. Safety is the NUMBER 1 priority. They do try to honor beliefs as long as they are not breaking the law!

As a Texas Resident, I have to follow the laws of the state as well as the laws of the USA. EVERYONE who lives here is required to, regardless of religious beliefs.
