It was hurtful to us when claims of physical abuse were floated. Several weeks back, supposedly a disproportionate number of broken bones in small children was found.

Whatever came of that? I never saw it confirmed or denied or followed up on.....did I miss it?

Also, in the SLC Tribune today was a statement by the Attorney General of the State of Utah that indicated that in 2005 Texas fashioned some state laws that made this raid and the sexual abuse charges possible. Apparently, the Utah Atty. General was involved as a consultant, and at the time he advised the state of TX that the laws were not likely to hold up on a collective basis......that the charges would need to be adjudicated on a child by child basis.

The main point, though, to me was that apparently the State of Texas had been gunning for this religious sect for a long time.
This fact in turn makes the original phone call that triggered the raid even more suspicious.

I hope investigative reporters stay with this case. What I read today makes the whole thing even smellier.
