This guy's team presented themselves as social service workers and took this families daughter. How the hell is this not kidnapping and posing as a government official?

3. Here's my comment
As someone who is studying social science education with a strong background in History and a newer emphasis on political science and psychology I feel if the real William Banks is doing this someone should set him up so that him and his crew get shot to death in some back alley. William Banks as depicted in the show is a dangerous demogauge for people to start following in this country. Before you know it every little proto-fascist like William Banks who sets themselves up as "God's infallible messenger and enforcer" will be intruding on and destroying the lives of all those they find to be inferior or immoral. BTW Renee63851, you don't really have dependency issues as much as you do a chemical disorder in your brain; seek actual professional help and not the kind you get from a cult leader at AA
