She made herself a whole quiverful of abuse victims.
Where is militia ranger on this, these are his people.
Ultra-religiosity – it is a sickness. Those poor children, I really do wish them the best and hope they get the help they need to rid their minds of that lifestyle.
The fact that several of them removed the guns and then cleared out of the place on their own is a good sign.
That they showed real foresight is a good sign. That five siblings basically escaped their mother is a horrible sign of what they endured.
Awww, how cute! They’re just like the Partidge Family!
If the Shirley Jones character had been more like Sybil, that is…
There is just so much you can do to keep things like this out of the public sphere. Eventually the kids were going to get to the point that it would explode in her face, and it just did. When over half her kids go running to the authorities, it is very difficult to claim that somehow the authorities are picking on her.
As a good Bible-believin’ Christian, the kids are just lucky she and her godly friends didn’t stone the children to death.
Deuteronomy 20: 20 - 21
20: They shall say to the elders of his city, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us…
21: Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear of it and fear
There is that!
Praise Jaysus’!
The look on the face of the girl in the foreground is telling. She looks like nobody’s fool. God bless the child.
The fact that they were able to run away was incredibly brave. And cleaning up the guns stored out there also showed foresight, empathy and intelligence that will hopefully serve them well in the future.
Sounds like they’ve been planning their escape for quite a while. I hope these kids get the help they need, and her ass ends up in jail.
They all look like they have fetal alcohol syndrome.
I know you are all going to hate me but this is pretty thin beer. Taking a child out of a home is a big damn deal. It isn’t something to snark about.
Thy were taken, therefore a reason existed. Wise assing or not, the lady was abusing every single one of them according to the story. If she wasn’t, she’ll get them back but the mere fact that her child wound up with Finicum and she took the rest of them cross country to sing for the Bundy band of clowns shows very little parenting skills and a pattern that is being repeated.
Yeah, something is real serious, and it’s her abuse of the kids.
Everyday, typical wiseassing as happens here most often is a release and a coping method. Maybe you should chill on the good guys and refocus.
Yes, esp. since there must have been some kids who stayed behind-- best get the guns away from their angry mother.
These Far Right conservative crackpots have offspring because that’s what they think their god wants them to do. Yet they never give a thought to loving or raising them in a safe, nurturing environment other than for exploitation.
Insects are better parents.
Poor Ms. Sharp. Her children were removed by officials from the Kansas STATE Government, under the executive power of GOP Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback [Regressive].
Confused, she vents her anger at the FEDS: “The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT hates us right now, because my daughter is a primary witness of a murder they committed…”
Poor woman. Should have paid attention in high school. Especially to the part about “Separation of Powers” between Federal, State & Local authorities. And even moreso to the part about not beating your children or exploiting them by taking them cross-country as a prop in your right-wing martyrdom.
Or paid attention in Sunday school when the teachers taught about the three Gospels in the Good Book where our Lord and Savior advocated separation of church and state 
I guess you are right, making fun of anothers tragic existence does make you feel superior doesn’t it. Especially if the other person doesn’t have anything in common with you. I guess I will just chill and throw rocks at people I don’t know based on short stories written by people with limited knowledge.
