Yearning for justice after Texas YFZ raid.

If you are not keeping up with the DFPS abuses of power in Texas the Texas Court of Appeals has ruled that DFPS overstepped its authority by taking the kids from the mothers at the YFZ ranch. The kids should be back with their mothers by now but the DFPS is planning to take its stupidity, child abuse and control freak — guilty until proven innocent mentality to the Texas Supreme Court. Meanwhile any psychologist can tell you that the kids will become increasingly mentally ill.

American Thinker: Cycle of Abuse: The FLDS Raid

By failing to carefully gather information from the onset of its investigation, DFPS has severely compromised its ability to effectively protect the FLDS children. Many of the FLDS children now have abandonment issues and may suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Assuming standard examinations for child abuse have been conducted, the FLDS children have been subject to genital exams and in some cases may have been subjected to manual penetration.

Many FLDS children have been placed in separate foster homes. Foster parents have been referred by DFPS to its Cultural Awareness Guide for Children from Eldorado. In this guide, the department makes the following unsubstantiated statement:

“Children [from the YFZ Ranch] are socialized to believe that sexual activity with adults is positive.”

We have no idea how many damaging conversations are now being held between the children and foster parents regarding child/adult sexual activity.

Prior to placement in foster homes, the children did not attest to physical abuse. All the children’s’ future testimony will now be tainted and subject to challenge. Lawyers for the cult will be able to argue, following the McMartin case, “the child sexual abuse accommodation syndrome.”

Now that the appellate court decision has put DFPS on the defensive for its actions, there is no knowing to what extremes this case may go. What will the DFPS be willing to put these kids through to prove that the state is and was right?

Tragically, the act of separating all the children from their families before building individual cases may simply have served to carve into the souls of these children the beliefs of cult leader Warren Jeffs … that they will be persecuted, that they should not trust government workers, and that we of the outside world are evil.
