37 year old woman kidnapped by CPS.
One of favorite CSMs was nicknamed “The Black Klingon”, and rarely has a nickname been so accurate, down to appearance. His short hair was cut in such a way to even seem like he had bony head ridges. Personality to match. Brilliant, and dangerously aggressive.
Once I was having an intense, which was typical, but not particularly menacing business conversation with him in a hallway, when the Brigade Commander’s driver stepped up with morning greetings. A top of the line Corporal, this morning he had erred by omission.
He had forgot to remove a small gold stud earring he had worn the night before. He realized his mistake the second that both I and the CSM spotted it.
“Here, let me help you with that”, said the CSM, before using two fingers to pull the stud *through* the ear lobe.
“Eep!”, said the Corporal, his hand coming up to cover his now bleeding ear.
As for me, I turned on my heels and departed with a range walk, and without looking back, wanting nothing whatsoever to do with “NCO business”.
Something for which, later, the Corporal let me know that he was eternally grateful. His ear healed quickly, and his career was unblemished by his faux pas.
One of several memorable encounters with that CSM.
Thanks. I found it following your post back.
“atritcle”?
Shoot, that is a new low, even for me.
And heck, I can’t spell in many languages.
In fact, I can’t spell in any of them.
Just like the Branch Davidians. Kooks? Yep. Criminals? Less so than the ATF goons who murdered them.
The referenced article is a tad out of date in the face of that clear admission.
The oldest adult detained as an underage mother is actually 37.
Unreal
Maybe it was a real old cps guy who decided that, I know the older I get the younger they look.
How is it you keep forgetting that part?
You know, that stuff follows you even later...
I intervewied a quite-talented mathematician some years ago. My boss, a former CSM, said no way am I hiring that PR$K with a diamond in his ear.
We figured that stuff out so the bones were set and healed.
Ever play basketball?
Shhhhh.
Schweintragerkasten
The judge that kept signing the warrants got her professional hat handed to her by two superior courts and was ordered to undo what she had done with those very warrants.
How is it that you are forgetting that part?

Did she have to undue the warrants, search and arrest, or did she have to undue her order to take temporary custody of the children? I think the warrants still stand as they gathered boxes of materials, etc and are still processing it for potential criminal action.
Regardless of the merits of this particular case. I think this ruling will set the bar substantially higher for CPS in the future. The court echoed what the law says, that CPS has to demonstrate beyond a resonable doubt that Abuse and Neglect is occuring before they can come in and take children. For years CPS has been getting away with pushing the bar downward and they finally got slapped down for it and slapped down in such a public way that it should have national ramifications.
And what questions would they have to answer if they filed a civil suit? There will be no suit, they’ll be lying low, real low.
“Armored Personnel Carrier, Fully Tracked, Amphibious - But NOT a Tank®”
The evidence was siezed under the first warrant in relation to a crime committed against SARAH JESSOP (doesn't exist) by DALE BARLOW (hasn't been in Texas for 30 years)
Not exactly solid ground

I know the plantiff lawyers are lined up trying to get in on the action and their 40% or so cut of any awards.
Actually I hope the FLDS does file and this gets into court so that the sect and their modes of operation can be brought into light through testimony under threat of prejury. The state, CPS and FLDS needs to come clean to the fullest extent possible...
There was a 2nd warrant following up the first....
