Rounding up communities of children without specific evidence? The Texas polygamist raid
Joseph Farah has this commentary in WorldNetDaily. He writes:
Now, don’t get me wrong. I don’t approve of this cult. I don’t approve of polygamy. I don’t approve of child brides. But I also believe in the rule of law.
An investigation of the compound had been under way for four years. A confidential informant, a former member of the sect, was providing authorities with details of activities. And this is all they have? . . .
Again, I am forced to raise some key questions about this case:
Is there a community in America where child abuse is not taking place?
Don’t we normally arrest individual suspects and try them for their crimes?
Do we normally and pre-emptively round up all the children in a community where it is suspected abuse is taking place without specific evidence?
