Everything is Bigger in Texas - Even Screw Ups

I'm sure my post won't make much sense, but give me a break. I've already been interuppted by little ones four times during the writing of this post.

Well it seems the phone call that got 416 kids stolen from their mothers was a big hoax. Yet, somehow, the government still has control of these children. This whole situation sickens me. No matter how we feel about what this sect does, there was no evidence to warrant a massive removal of children.

If all of this is about sexual abuse, then what are we going to do with the parents who oversexualize their children by allowing them to watch MTV or other things on tv that show inappropriate conduct? What about the mothers who allow their 12 year olds to come to church dressed like sluts? Shouldn't we do something about that? What about the dads who take their sons to Hooters and encourage them to gawk at women whom they are not married to? Why don't we remove kids from their parents for that type of sexual abuse?

What about all of the regular families (ones that don't wear funny dresses, have long hair, and marry old guys) whose teen daughters get pregnant? Shouldn't we remove the kids from those parents for allowing their daughters to have premarital sex?

I've heard so many arguments for and against this entire situation. One that I'm tired of hearing is that 14yo girls shouldn't be mothers. I'd MUCH rather my 14 year old be mentally and physically capable of raising a family than wasting her life by spending the day texting her friends, shopping at the mall, and trying to get the latest boy-toy to like her. But hey, that's just me. Call me weird.

I'm praying that these children get returned to their mothers, and that no harm will come to them.
