Polygamist Sect Raid Update 5/14/08

A San Antonio judge has blocked state Child Protective Services from removing a mother from a polygamous sect from her infant son when he turns a year old tomorrow.
The temporary restraining order keeps Lori Jessop and her son together. Mothers from the sect with children younger than a year have been allowed to stay with them, but older children have been taken from their mothers and placed in foster care.
The woman had been held along with more than 400 children taken last month from a West Texas ranch run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. State officials say the children were endangered by underage and polygamous spiritual marriages.
Texas child welfare officials conceded yesterday that a newborn's mother held in foster care as a minor after her removal from the ranch is an adult. A Child Protective Services attorney told a judge that the mother of a boy born April 29th is not a minor, as CPS had claimed as justification for holding her.

The SECT should bring charges against the CPS workers for "Kidnaping" and child Trafficing, but they won't because, like most of us, they no longer

TRUST the corrupt Government, corrupt Courts. Those CPS worker deserve PRISON or worse.

Now it comes out that most of the women were not "girls" but adults. Also it comes out that no charges have been filed (so much for a right to a speedy trial). It also comes out that the "informer" doesn't exist and, most likely, was an activist who has a history of making false report phone calls to 911. It comes out that even if the mother is an adult here child will still be seized by CPS w/out any charges against the mother. Facist state? Yep?
