Josh, I saw this article, and it answered a couple of the questions that arose yesterday. There is a lot of outrage about the way in which this raid was handled, and also the extent of the action. While most of us seem to agree that something has to be done to protect young girls, we're also appalled at the enormity of this raid, its seeming viciousness, and question the necessity of removing all the children. You brought up the "double punishment" for the young mothers, and also the need for individual case disposition, as opposed to a general decision. Child welfare officials allowed adult mothers with children ages 4 and younger to stay together when the state took custody of the rest of the children from the ranch. Now, only mothers younger than 18 will be allowed to remain with their children once the sampling is complete. The welfare agency will also try to keep siblings together, he said. --- Individual hearings will be set for the children over the next several weeks, and the judge will determine whether they are moved into permanent foster care or can be returned to their parents. All of the hearings must be held by June 5. npr.org
