The Houston Chronicle reports that Texas department of Child Protective Services has now expended $7.5 million in the removal of children from the polygamist compound in Eldorado.
"We can't wash our hands from it — we're the ones who did it," said state Sen. Bob Deuell, R-Greenville and another Senate Finance Committee member. "I hope it turns out it was the right thing to do."
Bottom line, citizens of the great State of Texas are asked to trust that the bureaucrats have it all right this time. No question, child abuse, polygamy, and sexual abuse have to be investigated and prosecuted where warranted. For me the question is, "When did we start invading private property and making wholesale seizures of children and material a practice of jurisprudence in Texas?'
The Chronicle seems to be starting to ask the right questions. Fox News continues to press for details of the heinous crimes. Are we assuming all the parents are guilty? Are we assuming that all the children are victims? If we aren't, why did we have a wholesale invasion of private property, and how will each family's rights be protected?
