“michele, the law, Texas law, is broken if that 16 or 17 year is impregnated.
and that is what the DNA will show.”

What makes you think that DNA collected under a invalid warrant will be allowed into court.

I am not really upset about this “cult” or religion or whatever you want to call it. But this action on the part of CPS is typical.

Here in Oregon, about 10-12 years ago we had CPS trying to take custody away from a single mother because she was giving the baby 2% milk. That’s how stupid they get.

I doubt that the milk was the actual factor. More likely the mother did not show the proper deference to the CPS worker.

I have talked to Sheriff’s Deputies who complained about the workers pushing their way into people’s houses without warrants or invitations. CPS workers using leading questions to interrogate children about their parents. Just a whole lot of problems with CPS regarding probable cause, warrants and due process in general.

They have their own courts, which are not open, they have special judges in a lot of places and if they have any oversight at all, it is by groups that are made up of current and former CPS workers or sympathizers in so-called advocacy groups.

It is pretty scary when you look at it. Texas is not the only State with a CPS like this. Most CPS are the same. Hopefully the publicity on this case will cause other states to look at what their CPS units are doing and how they are doing it.
