texas polygamists get their kids back
Texas seizure of polygamist-sect kids thrown out
In a ruling that could torpedo the case against the West Texas polygamist sect, a state appeals court Thursday said authorities had no right to seize more than 440 children in a raid on the splinter group's compound last month.Good. If we allow one group of people to make up and enforce rules based on their version of an imaginary sky daddy, then we have to let them all, even when children are involved. It sucks, but this is the world that religious lunatics have created, and we have to be consistent.The Third Court of Appeals in Austin said the state failed to show the youngsters were in any immediate danger, the only grounds in Texas law for taking children from their parents without court action.
