The CPS has practically given up on its mendacious pretense that it is concerned about the well-being of the children they've taken.....

CPS stopped in effort to remove baby, his mother

AUSTIN – Child Protective Services tried to whisk a newborn and his mother, in state custody as a minor after being removed from a polygamist sect's ranch, to a different city within hours of childbirth on Monday.
But her husband, saying his wife is 22 and should never have been taken into state custody with the ranch's children last month, rushed to court and prevented it.
Because CPS had no foster care placement in Travis County that was suitable for the newborn, the mother and child were poised to spend the night in a CPS office, a lawyer for the husband said.

Why on earth did the CPS think it needed to "whisk a newborn and his mother" from a hospital to a different city? And the best place they had for this woman and her newborn was a CPS office???? Did it come as a surprise to them that this pregnant woman would eventually give birth?
Can anyone really argue that the children of are safer today than they would have been had the CPS not taken them in the first place?

CPS said the age of the mother has been in dispute, but her husband, Dan Jessop, 24, said his wife, Louisa, is 22.
State District Judge Orlinda Naranjo issued an injunction that temporarily halted CPS' plan to move the mother, the newborn and the couple's two other children, ages 2 and 3, to San Antonio within hours of the delivery at an Austin birthing center.
The judge said the mother and the three youngsters will remain in Travis County until after a hearing Thursday on Mr. Jessop's request that another district judge in Austin, Darlene Byrne, order his wife and children released from state care.
"They know that there's no abuse problems," Mr. Jessop told KXAN-TV. "But CPS is so big and strong and proud, that they cannot go back now on what they've done."
Ms. Jessop is one of 27 "disputed minors," CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins said. They are females "who CPS believes are minors, or who have provided different ages and other conflicting information to CPS at different times. ... If CPS determines that any are adults, appropriate action will be taken."

here's how this works...
1) The State asks Mrs. Jessop, "How old are you?" Mrs. Jessop replies, "I'm 22. Here's my drivers license."
2) Later, the State tells the FLDS moms that only mothers aged 17 and younger will be allowed to stay with their children. The States says to Mrs. Jessop, "are you really 22, or would you now prefer to say that you're 17 so that you can stay with your children?" Mrs. Jessop does what any loving mother would do and lies about her age so that she can stay with her children.
3) Mrs. Jessop gets into a court and says, "I am in fact 22 years old."
4) The State says, "see how she changes her story! These people are liars, and we must nab their children."
This is what the State is doing: The State is putting parents who have not abused their children into positions where they must lie to protect their children, and then using those lies as justification for it's contention that they parents aren't fit for parenting.
This is perverse....a bureaucratic effort to protect kids persistently morphs into an effort by the State to justify its actions by whatever means necessary.
