Court: Sect children should be returned to parents

19 minutes ago

AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that children taken from a polygamist sect's ranch should be returned to their parents, saying child welfare officials overstepped their authority.

The high court on Thursday affirmed a decision last week by an appeals court that said Child Protective Services failed to show an immediate danger to the more than 400 children swept up from the Yearning For Zion Ranch nearly two months ago.

The ruling directs a lower-court judge to reverse her decision putting the children into foster case. The appeals court ordered the judge to return the children to the parents soon but it is unclear exactly when that will happen.

Thank you for the information Kosher.

I wonder how long it will take for those poor children to get over their ordeal, if they ever do.

Even if they didn't before these kids will surely not trust the government now. I'm sure you've seen the interviews with 60 year-old women who were children during the Short Creek Raid, they are STILL traumatized 55 years later.

I've never even heard of the Short Creek Raid. I'm in the UK and ignorant of much of US recent history.

Google "Short Creek Raid"

In 1953 the government did the same thing to this group of people. Shipping kids off to foster "care" and throwing men and women in jail. Sad.

I just did and was alarmed to read that the LDS church seemed to support the action.

Unless they are mentally ill, how on earth could an adult with free agency be so traumatized for something a half century earlier?

Normal human beings are a bit more resilient than that.

I would hope that the Church supports upholding the laws of the land. - they do and thank goodness.

This decision strikes me as forcibly as that picture of Warren Jeffs holding twelve year old Loretta in his arms and passionately kissing her.
