Reading a new article in the Houston Chronicle has left me feeling a little better about the situation involving the fundamentalist Mormon children who have been put in foster care all around the state, including two facilities here in the Houston area.
Bright spots? CPS will be arranging for mothers to visit their children, the children will be educated at their respective group homes either by employees from the local school district or via private schools -- no public school unles they remain in foster care a really long time, -- and their religious practices and dietary preferences will be respected. Also, sibling groups are being kept together so no one is assigned to individual foster homes. This last bit had me unduly worried because I think splitting up brothers and sisters after already taking them from their parents would be the final nail, so to speak.
The article also quotes CPS spokesman as saying they've now identified "several" underage mothers, bolstering the contention that forced intimacy with children has been the norm. Shame!!!!
The immoral acts of a few have caused the upheaval of many and from any angle it's the children who are paying the terrible price. Let's hope the state punishes the guilty thereby making it safe for the innocents to return home.
