[Just mythoughts]

What I do not understand is why any of these women given the choice would leave their children with authorities. Seems really strange to be itching about authorities and then walk away from their own children to be left with the authorities.

On another point why were the women and children loaded up and removed??? Why not remove all men instead???

You don't suppose it is because vague, anonymous non-specific charges can be used to take the children but that arresting the men would require real evidence?
