Interesting. Trend asked how might handle the sitaution and the best you can offer is what you wouldn"t do, not exactly a plan.
Re; the downs syndrome child, you can't be sure who his mother is and the boy can't be sure what his true name (ie birth certificate) is or who his siblings are but we'll return him to "mother" for who's benefit? The mothers or yours? We could return him to "mother" for his own sake but these "mothers" have demostrated that they are unable to protect their children.
Your petty arguement re the legal age of marriage, "Was 14, now 16". Ask around. I don't believe there are many mothers advocating for their daughters to marry at that age in open society. Again, for who's benefit if a girl marries at 14 or 16 and why?
Does Texas provide a law gaurdian for a child removed from the home? If so, then the children have representation and don't need you, I or the public, do we?
Why weren't there any fathers of the children on Larry King?
Your fascination with the number "400" kids are kidnapped. Suppose we just took 4 kids and returned the rest. What message does that send to the 4 kids, "you must be bad, the police only took four of you and returned the rest."
If a mom, dad and four children are a unit living in a home, then >100 adults with 400 kids living in a home (compound) is a unit. It is common for CPS to remove all the children if only one child reports abuse.
What are you advocating for with your arguements?
