[QUOTE="klmno, post: 156173, member: 3699"] I hope this isn't getting too touchy or on a very sensitive issue to everyone- but I don't get this and would like others' opinions. Regarding all these kids that were taken because of the polygamist families- well, if I understood correctly, they were taken from home because of fear of young kids being married (ie raped) and forced to have kids or for the boys, possibly being kicked out of the compopund. I get that part. Then, they investigated and found that those cases were a small percentage and they don't really have a right to keep all these kids, and they can't find good homes for them all so some of these kids should probably be released back to their families. But, they (CPS and courts) will need to determine what the families need to do to get the kids back. Did I get that right? Now, don't get me wrong- I am not questioning the concern over the kids' safety. What I am wondering about is that if CPS came to my home and removed my child due to a concern, then checked it out and concluded that they had no reason to keep him and couldn't provide a better home, so he should come home- then where does the "they will determine what I need to do to get him back" come from? Ok if they find an ISSUE (if I'm doing drugs and they say I need to get off the drugs) that is different. But, either they decide there is an issue and then decide where to go from here, or if there is not an issue, then where do they get authority to tell me what I need to cahnge to get the child back home? Sorry- I am developing an issue over our government agencies telling us fit parents how we should raise our kids. (But, no, I am not in agreement that those kids have the ideal home life- it is the principal of being in a free country, to me.) If this is politically or religiously sensitive - I apologize a moderator or I can delete it. Sorry.... [/QUOTE]
