As we wait to see if Texas CPS will follow both the letter and the spirit of the State Supreme court ruling, (see previous post to this Blog) here's something else to ponder:
THE OFFICIAL TEXAS "CULT" CHECKLIST:
Criterion for cult status Allegation against FLDS Child Protective Services
Does almost all its business in secret | X | X |
Raises children on isolated compounds where they are at serious risk of child abuse | X | X* |
Displays a profound bias against African-Americans | X | X |
Arbitrarily moves children from home to home, reassigning them to different families | X | X |
Kicks some people out when they are deemed too old, leaving them to fend for themselves on the streets | X | X** |
*-They're called "residential treatment centers"
**-It's called "aging out"
