VIDEO – FLDS Polygamist Parents Begin Reuniting with Children –

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that the state made a huge mistake in this case?

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!
