The mother is already a ward of the state. They, the state, has her listed as underage.

This is not a good enough reason to give the state legal custody of the child unless they can prove abuse, and if they can, why keep the two of them together? The thought of the government 'allowing' me to keep my children until they decide otherwise is terrifying.

Abused abuse. Abusers abuse. They don't stop.

Can you give us one good reason why you would think that this baby would all of a sudden be safe when the long sordid history of this cult would indicate it wouldn't?
