The Texas "cult?" Whats everybodys thoughts on this one?

I have been listening to the media's take on the removal of the over 400 children from the Mormon farm in Texas. A lot of it is rather disturbing to me. Just today they mentioned that they had found signs of broken bones on I believe the number was about 40 of the children. But I think they are really grasping at straws, trying to make these people look bad. These are farm kids, they feed livestock, and do other farm work, is their percentage of broken bones higher than the national average or is it just more media hype? I think what bothers me most is that this country was founded on freedom of religion. But this sounds to me like you are free to enjoy your religious beliefs ONLY if you believe the way everone wants you to believe. If it is a persons religion to have more than one wife, how can we have freedom of religion if the government says we cannot????? This just doesn't make any sense to me. Do we have freedom of religion or not? Sure doesn't seem like it. Originally the media was taking up the issue of the 14-16 yr old girls that were getting married, to older men of course. But what about all the teenage girls running the streets today who'd parents don't give a rat's hind end about them so they are out whoring and using drugs and getting knocked up, where is child services to take them and lock them up for their own safty????I also heard some horrible satistics about how children in foster care end up unemployed, homeless, etc. These kids were taken from homes and put into this system that actually threatens their future more than the conditions in which they were living did. These children were being raised in a strict enviornment. They were not exposed to even our rather disgusting television, much less interntet porn or anything we are bombarded with in our promiscuious society. Hell, they use sex to sell chewing gum these days. These children are NOT prepared for what they are now going threw. What are those foster homes exposing the kids to? You know having to find that many foster homes on short notice that there is a good possibility that some real threat to these kids actually do exisit, far worse than what they may of been exposed to at home. I don't like the fact that they took all those children on an ANNONOMOUS tip, and now they can't even produce the tipster. They took ALL the kids. Everyone's guilty and having to prove they are innocent. They are also forcing DNA testing, and lots of other things that really bother me. Since I long ago stopped trusting what the media reports, this whole nasty situation really bothers me.

I heard on http://www.infowars.com/ that the FBI actually had an agent or informant on the inside undercover. The informant didn't mention any abuses were taking place. But they went and did their raid anyway. Stoopid Government Jack-booted Thugs. I can't disagree with anything you said in your post, Sheepdog. Stay informed.
