These are 2 of Fred Phelps (Westover Baptist Church - home of the 'God hates ***' and the protests at all the funerals. If these children had a chance to live in a normal home where parents teach their children love & respect of all human beings, they would probably have a chance at a normal life.

I swear someone should sic Child Services on the Phelps family. I suspect these kids have no clue what they are 'hating' but do it because their parents & grandparents tell them to do so

1. I agree - it's sickening
I wonder if they even understand what it is they're protesting, and why.

3. Stories from some of Phelps' own children who have escaped
claim that the message is beaten into them at a very young age. And the mother does nothing to prevent the abuse.

2. I've organized counter-demonstrations against them here in NYC.
What's even more disgusting is they place these children in a line of front of the adults, in case there's any retaliation. They use their own children as a shield.
