Texas CPS sleight-of-hand continues: Watch the birdy!

Texas CPS now predictably ramps up its disinformation campaign, attempting to justify violating FLDS due process rights by returning to sexier stuff — allegations of pregnant teenagers. Gasp! The AP quotes Texas Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar as saying this afternoon that

“53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 were living on the ranch in Eldorado. Of that group, 31 already have children or are pregnant.”

I have two responses to this assertion:

1. I won’t believe it until you (CPS) prove it through independently verified documentation. On what basis have you made this factual determination? And did you gather this data through constitutionally-approved means or through lies, intimidation and subterfuge?

You have already demonstrated the willingness to lie to parents, kids, press and community to achieve whatever “noble” end you have in mind. You’ve shown that you don’t give a damn about the rule of law or the Constitution of the United States. You have every motive to lie about these people you have now victimized. You’ve deliberately interfered with communications between FLDS parents and their attorneys. You should not be trusted by anyone as a source of information about this case.

2. Even if you can find truly independent experts to corroborate your assertion, so what? If my FLDS-parent client’s little children were stolen by CPS without a constitutional warrant to enter their residence, I don’t give a rat’s a– how many girls were pregnant of what ages in other residences at the YFZ Ranch.  If the neighbor next door abuses his kids, how does that justify CPS in violating every which way my rights under the 4th, 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution?

You (CPS) might also explain why, at this moment, you are broadcasting this kind of assertion to the world instead of saving it for the court. Perhaps you are feeling the heat for your own constitutional crimes which loom large indeed in the grand scheme of things. Bullies and cowards. Tell your story to the court and let that court subject your testimony to full cross-examination and counter-expert testimony.

Unless the people of the United States are willing to allow the CPSs of the world to break into any apartment complex or neighborhood in Texas and round up the entire lot of kids any time anyone calls in any accusation of sex abuse, the number of pregnant kids or drug addicts or whatever just doesn’t matter. The danger to the country associated with letting CPS and Judge Walther run wild like they have in Eldorado, Texas far outweighs the individual risks to kids at the YFZ Ranch that would ensue if CPS and Walther were bound down, as they should be, by the “chains of the Constitution.”
