The videos are very powerful and helps me to understand why Canada is so slow to take action in Bountiful. It seems to me that CPS in Texas has been very heavy handed and really has no right to separate children from their families without evidence of abuse. Although I do think there are individuals who may need protection, its hard to believe that 400 healthy looking children should be subjected to such emotional hardship.

I understand that it may be difficult for the children (and women) to speak against the teachings of FLDS, in front of their men but it does seem to me that individual rights are being abused. I really do not know how this will end up but I doubt very much if it serves any purpose to subject the children to emotional trauma by the State.

We will have to see how this plays out. I come from a community of 300 people and I am trying to imagine how it would feel if all of the children were removed from their homes based on an anonymous phone call. Lets face it, the way Texas has handled this really does amount to religious persecution. I don't like it, I think FLDS is a cult but I think CPS should have solid evidence before they disrupt a whole community and sieze their children.
