Texas Authorities also now admit cover up and possible disciplinary actions to their own when admitting that a growing number of girls who they claimed were minors and who had children while in state custody are actually adults, some as old as 22. Authorities admin to having the birth certificates all along.

In what could be said to at least ‘appear to be suspect’ concerning the timing of the report coinciding with falling public support, Texas authorities then claimed they found 41 broken bones among these children. A claim now however, they seem to quickly be retreating from.Quote from the Texas CPS website as of April 29th and maintained as of May 18th: “We do not have X-rays or complete medical information on many children so it is too early to draw any conclusions based on this information, but it is cause for concern and something we’ll continue to examine”

A story by the way sharply denied by the young boys themselves.http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1312929,00.html

Are you beginning to see a pattern here? I imagine the next claim will be that they were boiling down infants and turning their fat into ritual candles.  I am saddened by what I see in many of my former Texas neighbors. I lived in Dallas from 1984 through 1992 and found the people to be quite sincere. But how they could support this event after watching our friends in Waco burn to death along with their children is beyond me.  For years, those of us who had friends in the Waco area or knew people who knew some of these good folks, tried to tell their story; only to be mocked and scorned. Years after fooling many of you, (not me), the FBI quietly admitted to starting the fire; though most citizens are completely ignorant of this admission.

I believe some of those who spread the government’s stories concerning Waco deserve some of the blame for those young children dying. You may not have lit the match, but you certainly helped fan the flames, just as I believe some of you educated people who now spread the government’s stories concerning these parents in Utah should also share some of the blame for what is happening to these children.    

You might want to read up on it before you jump to conclusions based on rumors and unsupported allegations derived from interviews by state "child welfare" officials.  There is a very scary history there that warrants extreme caution.

I had lunch yesterday with an old prosecutor buddy of mine, and he was telling me about one of his cases. This woman had several children, the youngest of whom were twins.

She starved the twins to death, well, one of them anyway, the other was permanently injured by severe starvation. Somehow, she got off with probation on a diminished capacity kind of defense. Remarkably, child services let her keep her other children, explicitly on the reasoning that, well, she had no problem with the other children, she just was kind of crazy about the twins. Since the twins weren’t around any more, she wasn’t a danger to the other kids.

A year or so later, 5 of the kids died in a fire because the mother kept them all sleeping in one room with old electrical space heaters with bad wiring  laying around.

Any parent who would abuse a 13 year old girl, or knowingly allow that girl to be abused, is not a fit parent for ANY child, whether they pose an immediate risk of injury to that younger child or not.

An ex-Mormon raised in the mainstream church, Moore-Emmett is critical of the LDS leadership for ducking the issue of polygamy.

For reasons I explained previously, ex-members of a religion are often the worst possible sources for objective information. I am disappointed that PoliGazette has yet again published another report from such a source without even the slightest skepticism.

The fact is that the mainstream LDS church routinely excommunicates anyone found to be living in a polygamous relationship. They do not “duck” the issue. The accusation that all Mormons are somehow responsible for the teachings and behaviors of any religious group that branched off over a century ago is slanderous and irresponsible. It is a clear indication that this author is not a credible or objective source, in my opinion.
