The women in the news do look different and speak differently. So what? I still wonder if the children who have been taken are in a better position? With so many homeless children on the street (possibly being sexually and physically abused), why would the Texas authorities think it more important to take children from homes where they are at least fed? Maybe it is people trying to feel good about themselves by 'saving' these children, maybe it is political, or maybe just misguided. If investigations are in order, do it, but to disrupt the lives of that many people when the rescuers have no long range plan?
Pebcake;
Please take the time to read all the links/stories in this thread. You may just learn something.

Thank you, Jon. I have read quite a bit and seen a lot on TV. Could you direct me to further reading on this incident?

Sincerely

You got to be either joking or a Troll.
Check the links in this thread for a start.
And as we all can see that you are using the INTERNET, try to use any
news search.
And read the books that have been talked about in this thread.

Jon, you are coming off a bit mean spiritied. I read all the links you and others posted. I saw nothing that would make me feel better about too much government involvement. What, in my post, offended you so?
