answer:This whole thing was kicked off by some 33 y.o. woman in Colorado calling the police and pretending to be a 16 y.o abused girl in the compound. The entire probable cause in this case, as it appears right now, is based on a lie that the police did not diligently track down. Not a one of those polygamist “wackos” is actually under arrest. I don’t have to agree with their religious/political views. The rights and liberties as American citizens were trampled. And the spin will be that “we only had the best interests of the children in mind.” Well, hey, those kids don’t belong to the government. They are their parents’ responsibilities. They have the right to raise them as they see fit. Sheltered from the “real world” is perfectly acceptable… unless you want to round up the Amish, too? Until (or better, if) legitimate probable cause does eventually emerge, I think the kids should be returned with a great big apology.
