Eye witnesses condemn Texas CPS: “The floor was literally slick with tears”
The letters linked below — courtesy of the Salt Lake Tribune — were written by Hill Country Community Mental Health-Mental Retardation Center staff, in San Angelo, Texas. They assisted FLDS victims of CPS abuse in San Angelo shelters in early April 2008. The letters document what would in an international context be considered genocide or other war crimes. Despite these atrocities, it is doubtful that anyone in Texas CPS will be held accountable.
- “This was a travesty.”
- “This situation was a tragedy.”
- “It was heartwrenching.”
- “Our roles bacame… confidant and a broker.”
- “That is a very good question.”
- “Ashamed of being a Texan.”
- “I often felt helpless.”
- “Vast amounts of hypocrisy.”
- “Even to be an observer was difficult.”
- “This incident… is not what America or Texas stands for.”
- “Even the simplest request was discounted.”

These statements (above) by mental health professionals are utterly stunning. EVERY person, at least those with a mind, in the United States needs to read those statements.
If these women and children had been prisoners of a declared war, violations of the Geneva Conventions would be reported. But the FLDS were prisoners of the CPS, and in that war there are no holds barred.
Highly significant: One Mental Health worker after another observed the FLDS mothers were uniformly patient, kind and conscientious with their children; while the children were emotionally healthy, lively and had no appearance whatever of abused children. They repeatedly express their high respect for these women.
Read the letters. Some of the most important reading I have done in a long time.
