Prosecuting this mother is an egregious abuse of power by the State of Texas. This judge's ruling should be appealed and the judge disciplined.
Texas Family Code defines child abuse. The law specifically excludes “reasonable” discipline by the child’s parent, guardian, or conservator; corporal punishment is not in itself abusive under the law. An act or omission is abusive only if “observable and material impairment” occurs as a result, or if it causes “substantial harm,” or exposes the child to risk of substantial harm.
I hope the mother fights this abuse of power and ultimately sues the State of Texas for illegally removing her children from her custody. And from now on, Grandma doesn't get to see the children unless the visits are supervised. She should be ashamed of the emotional damage she's done to the children and the mother.
Everyone involved in prosecuting the mother deserves to be reprimanded and lose benefits/money for their unconscionable decisions.

I wouldn't be surprised if the former j-list listserv members are discussing how best to push this story off the radar.

Barack Obama's first Executive Order, 13489, was regarding the release of Presidential Records stored in the National Archives and maintained by the National Archivist. The National Archives do not maintain or administer the Hawaii vital records or various university transcripts to which birthers want access. Obama's EO 13489 revoked Bush's EO 13233 on Presidential Records and essentially restored WH policy to that of Reagan's EO 12667 on Presidential Records.

WND also perpetuated the erroneous claim about a travel ban to Pakistan. As you pointed out, there was no such travel ban. Here's the truth:
The U.S. Department of State issued Travel Advisory No. 81-33A for Americans traveling to Pakistan in 1981.
"Before traveling to Pakistan, American Citizens should be aware of the following updated visa requirements: 30 day visas are available at Pakistani airports for tourists only. As these visas are rarely extended beyond the 30 day time per visa. Tourists planning to stay longer should secure visas before coming to Pakistan. Any traveler coming into Pakistan overland from India must, repeat must, have a valid visa, as 30 day visas are not, repeat not, issued at the overland border crossing point at Wagha."

There have been approximately 74 eligibility lawsuits. Obama's personal attorneys (Perkins Coie) have provided a defense in exactly three of the 74 suits. The DOJ has provided a defense in nine. The rest of the lawsuits were either dismissed by the judge sua sponte or Obama was not a defendant in the lawsuits. (Source: http://tesibria.typepad.com/whats_your_evidence/B...
World Net Daily started the erroneous rumor that Obama has spent millions of dollars in legal fees on the eligibility issue. They looked at the FEC campaign finance records for "Obama For America" and found that OFA had paid the law firm Perkins Coie approximately $2 million.
What WND failed to report is that Perkins Coie is the primary law firm representing the Obama For America organization as a whole. So if one is to believe WND on their claim, one would also have to believe that the primary law firm for a presidential campaign had NO OTHER responsibilities except defending three eligibility lawsuits.
