I can’t believe no one else here has said this, but I guess I will: The crime under investigation was being committed not by the children, but by their fathers. The Texas authorities should have arrested the men and left the women and children safe in their homes! Then they could have conducted their criminal investigation without traumatizing those poor children by removing them from the only home they knew. Having concluded that, they could have arraigned those men who were culpable (and any complicit women – I’m not saying all the women were necessarily blameless) and not punished the children for a situation not their fault.
