I have a problem with this whole situation.  Polygamy is a crime…..but where does the state get off taking children from their mothers, no matter what age they are?

Louisa Jessop’s children were among the more than 400 who were taken from the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints compound raided early last month by Texas law enforcement and CPS officials. She says she’s 22 and has presented authorities with a driver’s license and birth certificate to prove it. But CPS spokesman Chris Van Deusen told NBC that the department has classified her as a “disputed minor,” the term used for FLDS women whose age has not been established to the department’s satisfaction. Until her age is established, they are treating her as if she is a minor.

“They said I looked like I was under 18,” she said.

And so Louisa Jessop is stuck. She’s been told she can leave, but she has to leave her newborn son and her other two children in foster care. Or she can stay with her newborn son, but can no longer be with her other children.

These children committed no crime and the mother’s have done nothing that would lead to them losing their children.
