in the case of the many of the FLDS parents, I find it hard to believe that anyone could have their children taken from them while being accused of less -- most (like > 95% most) haven't been accused of anything other than teaching their children that it's good to have large families.

buried in all the evil things that evil fundie mormons do, the essence of the State's case against the fundie mormons is not that they have abused the kids, but rather that they teach their kids wrong. As I say I can't imagine anyone having their kids taken from them while being accused of less.
and regardless of how the cps may normally abrogate citizen's rights, they are nonetheless a goverment agency and therefore bound to respect the 4th amendment if they are to act lawfully.
