450-odd children seized from LDS camp

While I don't agree with their lifestyle or habits, and I DO feel they are a cult, as they do not adhere to true Biblical teachings, this has been a very challenging story for the country and the world, and myself.

To have so many children ripped from their mothers by SWAT teams in riot gear, with guns and a TANK, and the fact that the courts have now forced their adoptions by those other than families outside the LDS compound, and as this is the only life the children have ever known, this event will undoubtedly be the most tramatic and psychologically damaging thing that will ever occur in their young lives.

I feel that our government did this completely the WRONG way, and believe that they have now created long-term mental distress in over 450 children, PLUS their mothers and fathers, from which they may never recover. That's 450 children who will need long-term counseling, will always be resentful, will probably act out in all sorts of ways, causing even more damage to society overall. All in all, one hell of a mess.

THAT BEING SAID...they are now doing DNA testing on all of the children, for obvious reasons. So when a story like this comes along, it makes me hope and pray all the more that nothing like this has happened in that compound, because this is some sick sick stuff:

sadly there's another similarly sick story from Oz:
