what property damage was done to the ranch? As far as I can recall, there was none. Further more, these jerks have no right to sue, one of their followers was the one that tipped off the police to what was going on, and if the abuse wasn't true then she should definitely be in jail for such fabrications. I'm all for family values, but not when there are 10 mothers living with one man. Polygamy is completely unnatural and it's just as big of a detriment to family values as gay marriage.

CPS never has found 400 children and such
uncooperative adults.
The behaviors like reassigning women and reassigning children do not show the
predictable care I assume is not traumatic to a child/children.
Were hundreds of children at an address in your county and the authorities are investigating a summons I imagine most
adults would cooperate with concern!
The crazy making behavior of the adults
is the complexity. The entire polygamy
culture is grabbing for media attention
for "rights"...every kid there deserves their identity and it is appropriate that proper custody be
in place before releasing any child.
If I found an inquest at my door I would not hesitate to help. And I do not fear CPS..they are good caring people who spend their careers for
abused children.
The segregationist white thing is tired and stale. Most adults have no
limit to ways of interacting without getting into private matters like their religion. If 400 children are secretly living in the care of followers of a convicted sex offender by golly proceed with due care for the children.

Googling the Texas CPS gives this;

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) was created with the passage of House Bill 2292 by 78th Texas Legislature, Regular Session. Previously called the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, DFPS is charged with protecting children, adults who are elderly or have disabilities living at home or in state facilities, and licensing group day-care homes, day-care centers, and registered family homes.

The agency is also charged with managing community-based programs that prevent delinquency, abuse, neglect and exploitation of Texas children, elderly and disabled adults. The agency's services are provided through its Adult Protective Services, Child Protective Services, Child Care Licensing, and Prevention and Early Intervention divisions. Every day, almost 6,800 DFPS employees in more than 249 offices across the state protect the physical safety and emotional well-being of the most vulnerable citizens of Texas.

So that gives an average of under 30 employees per office. And i don't suppose the El Dorado office is one of the largest.

And as scary as raiding the nearest ghetto might be, logistics say it will never happen. Perhaps a shame, but so is the rest of reality.

let's see where it leads in the course of the specifics and closely watch where the leading indicators may point in the future.

I am pretty much aligned with wishnevsky's observations on this, though I did miss the gun show.

What is the definition? Who gets to decide what child abuse is?

Cults (as the media has defined this group, maybe rightfully) are and have been in existance for ever. This cult came to be through superb leadership skills. Like brain washing skills. Jim Jones and red cool-aid.

I am no expert in 'Child protective Services' of any state, but as I understand California law, once a complaint-notification has taken place, state authorities are requrie to take action. No six month investigations before "a child is protected".

This Texas quagmire (like Waco in 93?) is the New Orleans hurricane. A disaster waiting to happen.
