I am still very troubled by what the State of Texas has done to the children, families and church (i.e.- the members of the Yearning for Zion Ranch) Read this news report. I find it scary. Apparently the anonymous phone call from an alleged abused teen that started this episode was not from an abused teen at the ranch at all, but from an adult unconnected with the ranch. I am not surprised. Nor am I surprised that some over zealous State workers jumped at the excuse the call gave them to invade the Ranch and snatch over 400 children out of their homes and away from their parents and go on to disperse them around the State in foster care. Reading the article we learn the State will not act on the original complaint of child abuse. Dropping that, they are now justifying their actions based on the State’s judgment that the culture [Religion] of the Ranch endangered the children.
