If the mothers choose to expose the kids to men who seek marriage to the kids, I don't care whether the mothers are adults or underage, they're unfit. As unfit as the pedophiles they're exposing the kids do.
I don't care what religion they're from or what lifestyle. if We had a man calling 3 adult women his wives and pro-creating 10 children among em, able to afford the house and kids and wives without any of 'em being on the public dole, then fine. I'd not consider scrutinizing thier choices.
But that's not what we have here. I'm not particularly interested in supporting the undocumented wives and large families full of children with my tax dollars, and I'm similarly not interested in dealing with the aftermath of a bunch of underaged girls who were forced into marriage by their parents to older men, without their own free and knowledgeable choices about the alternatives.
And babies having babies is never something we shoudl condone. The health risks are too high. It happens, and when it does, we try to make the best of it and hope no one has lasting health or psychiatric issues because of it... but if it was not a mistake, if it was planned by adults to have a child become pregnant, then although it's not an "imminent" danger the way a loaded gun pointing at you is an imminent danger, it most certainly is a danger we need to find a way to protect those teen girls from.
As it is, for THIS situation, it would seem that they GOT thier due process and so it's ridiculous to complain... other than the same general complaints made every day by parents who go through the same thing on a smaller scale (parents wrongfully accused of abuse, drug use, criminal acts, and therefore having their children withheld from them). At least in the Texas situation, the foster parent situations were carefully controlled so that the kids were not alienated or given mean inforamtion about their parents... which is NOT the situation when one parent snatches the kid from another during a divorce situation and spends the next however many weeks or months until the courts rectify the situation indoctrinating the child against the absent parent.
