Watching this case unfold is like watching a malpractice lawyer duke it out with a used car salesman. They’re both so scummy, you don’t know who to root for. I feel like showering every time I realize that I have to support the FLDS in this case.
Years ago, before I had children, I watched the Frontline documentary about CPS and was absolutely appalled. This is an organization that is 99% bureaucracy and 1% caring about actual kids, petty tyrants who care more about exercising power than they do about destroying families. I live in fear that one day CPS will come knocking on my door and decide that my house isn’t clean enough and take my kids away. I have fibromyalgia and two of my kids have Asperger’s, but I can’t get respite care because they’re not mentally retarded.
So if Warren Jeffs were to drop the soap in prison, I’d be thrilled. But if CPS gets their peepee slapped badly enough that they start backing off their little bureaucratic crusade to control all the children in the country, I’d be even more thrilled.
