It was OVERKILL (no pun intended). The utilization of brute force to which government resorted for the purpose of a goal so evil as to starve and dehydrate an innocent woman to death is stunning. Arresting ten year olds and blocking entrance to the mother who bore her, was undeniably vicious and cruel in its intent. And now we watch as innocent citizens are assaulted in the face of armed law enforcement in some instances, looking on and doing NOTHING.
The true EXPLOITATION was conducted by authorities, who misused the power of government to achieve an evil end.
I heard there were snipers posted on the rooftops in case this little boy needed to be eliminated altogether.
