I've read all of his books. |

I must have lost my mind, gone totally mad. What is stranger than strange now that I look back at all my posts through out the history of time going back to the dark ages, I've been very consistant about objecting to child abuse in all forms. How totally wacko is that!!  |

Children: 4 Year Old Daughter | Re: Authorities questioning children at Texas polygamist compound | | Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've been following this story since it started.
Looks like they now have a legal and logistical nightmare on their hands... SAN ANGELO (AP) ― Texas officials who took 416 children from a polygamist retreat into state custody sent many of their mothers away Monday, as a judge and lawyers struggled with a legal and logistical morass in one of the biggest child-custody cases in U.S. history. cbs11tv.com - Polygamist Mothers Forced To Leave Children In CPS Custody
