My Way News - Sweep of polygamists' kids raises legal questions
AP reports: "The sect believes polygamy brings glorification in heaven and its leader Warren Jeffs is revered as a prophet. Jeffs was convicted last year in Utah of forcing a 14-year-old girl into marriage with an older cousin."
Comment: I agree that the leader of this group is, by orthodox Christian standards, a false prophet. However, I also agree that the state overstepped the bounds in seizing and removing all of the children (especially infants and the males of all ages) from the group, and if it is demonstrated that the phone call which instigated the removal proves to have been fraudulent, the children should be immediately returned to the parents.
