The behavior of the Branch Davidians towards their children is well documented, both by child welfare workers in Texas and by sworn testimony of former members.
Apparently this is your (presently unsubstantiated) opinion. How about some references that don't involve ATF employee testimonys?
The Branch Davidians were proclaimed "cleared" of charges of child abuse by Texas authorities in the presense of physical evidence which would have been considered abuse in most other states.
In many places, spanking a child (with restraint and compassion, as a parent) is considered child abuse, so I suppose this statement could be considered true. I am not alone, however, in my belief that corporal punishment is sometimes a necessary part of parenting. While I don't share the Davidians religious beliefs, I'd like to see more evidence that the ATF was justified in their assault. I'm not yet convinced. -Tom ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: Thomas Landmann :: E-mail: landmann@facstaff.wisc.edu :: :: DoIT Network Systems Technology :: Compuserve: 76020,2055 :: :: 1210 W Dayton Street, Rm 4220 :: AX.25: N9UDL @ WD9ESU.#SCWI.WI.NOAM:: :: Office: 608.263.1650 :: Home: 608.277.1115 :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
