It's Still An Excuse Update

Recently in the article "It's Still An Excuse", I reported that a Texas State Appeals Court ruled that authorities had no right to seize the more than 440 children in a raid on the polygamist compound last month. I am glad to see that finally, the Texas Court has come to it's senses. The Texas Court delayed returning the more than four hundred children currently in State custody, to their polygamist families. A deal is in the works between the State and the families attorney's. It requires that the children stay in Texas, allow child welfare authorities access, and that parents agree to take parenting classes. I suppose that the deal is something positive, but Texas is unlikely to alter the polygamist sect's way of life. I still maintain that these polygamist religious cults are little more than a vehicle to allow grown men to have sex with young girls.
