Plus they have not found the girl who made the call and it looks like to everyone that it was a hoax.
This is a constitutional mess and I feel that this might have far reaching ramifications for us Christians who will be culturally different then those around society whether it is about anything else that CPS, Social Services, etc deems abusive whether it is Homeschooling, Vaccination issues, Discipline of our Youth, Modesty Differences or anything else that the media and government has demonized this group for.
I happen to know that John Knox married at 50 years of age to a 16 year old girl and John Calvin put marriageable age and flower of Youth between 12 and 20 years of age... Most Theologians agree that Mary had our beloved Savior at or around 14 years of age...
I will leave the particularities of this case alone but I do believe this is a constitutional mess and has far reaching implications.. | Minor correction, John Knox's second wife was 17 years old when they married. Marriages of Reformers | Correction to the correction: Some sources do say 16 and others say 17; I'm not sure which is correct. Quote:

I'm not exactly sure what a "compound" is, but I do know that anytime the government seems to feel compelled to raid someplace with national news coverage that is what these people live in. | This is very true. Mount Carmel, anyone?
