Judge Barbara Walther and CPS Show Their Arrogance – Delay Reuniting FLDS Kids with Parents

The ink hadn’t had time to dry on the ruling by the Texas Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Judge Barbara Walther‘s incompetent ruling that allowed CPS to snatch up over 400 FLDS kids than she and the CPS lawyers showed their arrogance again by delaying the re-uniting of the FLDS kids with their parents.
This latest snag just goes to show how arrogant and incompetent both Judge Barbara Walther and the Texas CPS are. Both came up with an “agreement” that they are trying to force the parents to sign in order to get their children back.
Funny, I don’t remember either the District Court or the Supreme Court issuing a ruling that the FLDS parents must sign such an agreement to get their kids back. I do remember both higher Courts saying that Judge Barbara Walther was wrong when allowing the CPS to swoop in and kidnap those kids away from their parents.
Apparently neither Judge Barbara Walther or CPS have learned their lesson. This is just another example of a incompetent judge in our legal system trying to have her way regardless of what higher courts decide.
Here’s just a snippet from an Associated Press article on Yahoo.
Under the deal CPS released, the families won’t be able to leave Texas until Aug. 31 but would be allowed to move back to the ranch. It also calls for parenting classes and visits by CPS to interview children and parents in the child abuse investigation.
Walther wanted to remove the August deadline and provide for psychological evaluations of the children. She also wanted it specified that parents can’t travel more than 60 miles from their residence without 48 hours’ notice. She also wanted CPS to have access to the ranch and the children at all times necessary for any investigation.
I don’t remember either higher Court issuing these restrictions? Obviously Judge Walther is still smarting by having her decision publicly overturned so now she’s reaching for straws. These are just the type of lawyers that need to be run out of the Public courts.
So now the Parents reunification with their Children are on hold as once again, the attorney’s for the FLDS parents and kids have to go back to the Court’s and have them direct this incompetent Judge Walther to do her job and return the kids…with no strings attached.
She’s trying to impose restrictions and limitations to parents in a case where she had no authority to act in the first case. A decision that all of her peers have agreed was wrong. Apparently she just can’t accept that fact.
If you remember right, the whole basis for the search warrant and raid were based on faulty and suspicious circumstances. Even knowing this, both the Judge and CPS have moved forward in their attempts to enforce their will on the FLDS parents and children.
This kind of Governmen abuse needs to stop now and the Government parties involved, including CPS lawyers and decision makers, along with Judge Barbara Walther, need to be held responsible for their incompetent and illegal actions.

I appears that the Texas CPS is so dependent on breaking the law to achieve their goals they are incompentent when it comes to doing things legally.
The agreement CPS drafted was so ambigous they could not even enforce it.
Looks like CPS just wants this thing to go away.
Texas courts said do what you need to enforce the law and protect children, but follow the law while doing it. The CPS seems to be saying “it is too hard to follow the law – let’s just let it fade away and we will blame the judges. We, “CPS”, only want to enforce the law when we can make it easy for us by breaking the law”.
Looks like Texas needs to bring in some competent people at CPS.
The FLDS has found a new safe home for their life style. Like Utah, Texas will be unable to enforce any laws against them because they will not have enough prison space to put them in.
