Bill, I found this a very upsetting ruling by the judge... It will take many months, maybe even years, to determine whether the actions by Texas authorities in removing 437 children from their homes in a compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was justified. But Texas District Judge Barbara Walther's order that nursing mothers not be allowed to breastfeed their babies and toddlers – 77 under age 2 at last count – while in state custody seems unwarranted, even heartless ... It's not something that the mothers can resume if the children are, eventually, returned to them. In other words, the court would be permanently depriving these children of the best nutrition available, even if the state fails to prove its case against their parents.
