Oh I see…given the abuse of altar boys by pedophile priests, and the cannibalistic elements of communion, I am sure that Catholics are next on the list.  Who then after that?  Maybe parents who give their daughters birth control at the age of 14, which is consent to sexual activity…their religion?  Secular humanism.

From the Dallas Morning News

Among the things that parents in the polygamist sect would have to do to regain custody of their children:

•Provide a home free of abusive persons.

•Tell the state who’s living on all floors of buildings they live in.

•Document their marriages and divorces.

•Attend parenting classes.

•Attend individual and family counseling sessions.

•Submit to DNA testing.

Texas, calling a polygamist sect an abusive environment, is poised to tell its mothers they will lose their children unless they distance themselves from portions of their religion.

Some lawyers believe this could mean women would never be able to return to the Yearning for Zion ranch in Eldorado and would have to choose between some of their beliefs and their children.

But other experts said adults who have tolerated underage “marriages” of girls to older men and apparently have cast out teenage boys might have forfeited all rights to raise their children — and are lucky to be given a shot at regaining their youngsters.

In advance of court hearings that begin Monday, Child Protective Services has drafted 10 goals and 14 tasks that parents will have to work toward in order to regain custody of their children.

CPS is proposing to give parents until next April to “provide a home free of persons who have or will abuse” children and “demonstrate the ability to protect the child(ren) from sexual abuse.” The children will remain in state custody until a judge is satisfied that the parents have complied.

On Wednesday, CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins stressed that the guidelines — known as service plans — are silent about plural marriage and religious beliefs of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

“This is not about polygamy and it is not about religion,” Mr. Crimmins said. “It is about child sexual abuse and our commitment to protect children.”
