You're just wrong. Whether or not a crime has been committed is absolutely the issue here. If it is true that this ranch was set up under the guise of a church, to systematically provide 13-14 year old "brides" to 50 year old pedaphiles, then CPS were heroes to intervene.
So as long as someone feels a crime is being committed its ok to take away someone elses rights? I can't disagree more with that sentiment more.
Lets apply your thinking towards gay rights. Many legislations have been created with the intent to protect this population and give them the right to live life free from persecution. However, some of these laws can and have been used at times to go after people who merely disagree with the lifestyle and who feel that it goes against God's will.
Some gay rights activists have argued that it is child abuse to promote anti-gay ideas for young children. In fact California schools have already adopted many such ideas into their programs. Anything that discourages or looks down on the lifestyle is wrong
How would you feel if someone came and took your children because you could not agree with this lifestyle?
Polygamy has existed throughout history. As it has been pointed out it is only recently in this country history that it has become popular for children to be older when they marry and have children. History is full of examples of young people marrying and having children. Arranged marriages are still a part of other cultures. Should this group be penalized because they cling to traditions and past cultural norms? Some might say the same for christians who disprove of the gay lifestyle. Should everyone who disagrees with the gay movement and does not feel that it is right in the sight of the Lord have their children rounded up?
