Mental health workers say that Child Protective Services abused YFZ women and children

When mental health workers report abuses by the Child Protective Services operation you can be sure that control freaks were in charge of the operation. They did not give a hoot about the constitutional rights of the parents nor care about their own mental abuse of the woman and children of the YFZ ranch. The spin continues to justify their unconstitutional actions and so does the abuse of these children. However, those involved in this action are eventually going to pay a heavy price when the lawsuits come.

Mental health staff rips CPS over handling of polygamist sect | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Mental health workers sent to emergency shelters in San Angelo last month to help care for the hundreds of women and children removed from a polygamist sect’s West Texas ranch have sharply criticized the Child Protective Services operation, telling their governing board it unnecessarily traumatized the kids.

The CPS investigation of suspected child abuse and its decision to seek state custody of all 464 children punished mothers who appeared to be good parents of healthy, well-behaved and emotionally normal kids, workers said in a set of short and unsigned written reports made at the request of the board after a briefing Tuesday.

“What they saw was so horrendous, they had to report it to the board,” said Dawson, a Comal County commissioner. “I have every confidence their stories are accurate. Our people are professionals, with years and years of service in their fields.”

Board President John Kite said the entire board was upset by the reports. He said he is trying to get Gov. Rick Perry to meet with the workers.

“We were literally astounded at what they told us,” Kite said. “They are trampling all over human decency and those people’s civil rights. … We should not just sit here and let it happen.”
