Voices are slowly beginning to speak up about the child abuse of the children of the YFZ by the state of Texas. Yet, I have yet to hear from one nationally well known leader about this unconstitutional taking of children from mothers just because they can, and just giving them wasy to who knows what. Where are even the American patriots and the Libertarians? Why are they not sticking up for the people who have been kidnapped by the state.
Rest assured that all of these kids are now being abused by government and will continue to be abused in the homes and in the school environments they will be forced to submit to. If Texas actually has legal evidence of child abuse on the YFZ ranch (which I doubt) they should prosocute the men preying on these women and children not on the victims. There is more child abuse going on in any population that size in Texas than there was on the YFZ ranch and everyone in government knows it.
A legal precedence is being established here of state control over parents rights. When hate speech laws or home schooling bans are enacted under the next administration they could be coming for your kids as well and the case they will cite as legal authority to do so will be this one and it won’t just happen in Texas. So if you think this abuse of government power is good just because you did not like what the cult believed and if you think it will not effect you, you will soon find out differently when they come for your kids after they outlaw all fundamentalism.
So how about it? Am I free to call the police anon, sic them on someone I dislike and then sit back and watch the show? Apparently so. At least in the kangaroo court of Judge Barbara L. Walther, for whom a tip from a complainant who never materialized constitutes probable cause.
The rules of evidence have been revised in post-constitutional America. If you thought that wrenching babes from their moms ought to be predicated on the testimony of a competent, credible witness, you were wrong. And you were utterly insane if you imagined the defendants ought to get to confront the witness against them in a trial before being punished.
That Sixth Amendment stuff is so yesterday.
In post-constitutional America, the right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures certainly no longer applies uniformly. Ditto due process. Creepy people, for whom the goons in government have been gunning, are as good as convicted criminals. In the case of the FLDS cult’s kids, the burden of proof has been shifted from the state to its victims.
Rest assured, if these children have not yet been forced into premature sex, they most certainly will be once they hit the foster-care circuit. The nation’s foster parents, bless them, are not known for being upstanding professionals who collect strays out of kindness. Fagin on welfare is more like it. The famed character from Charles Dickens’ “Oliver Twist” also offered his young charges a “free meal” and “lodgings for nothing.”
Whatever are your voyeuristic fantasies about the sex romps on a polygamist commune, of this you can be certain: Relative to the loose, licentious, libertine and precarious foster-care environment, the children seized in the raid on the FLDS property have led a sheltered, chaste life. The gravest abuse still awaits them.
