Final: Judge orders FLDS kids returned to parents today

Posted by Charlie Kilo on June 2nd, 2008

Parents — members of polygamist sect — able to pick kids up later Monday:

A Texas district judge has ordered the return of more than 400 children taken from a polygamist sect’s ranch.

Parents are allowed to begin picking up their children at 10 a.m. CDT Monday.

The parents are not allowed to leave the state of Texas without court permission and must participate in parenting classes. They were also ordered not to interfere with any ongoing child abuse investigation and to allow the children to undergo psychiatric or medical exams if required. 

Breaking: Texas wrongly seized sect children

Appeals court ruling applies to 48 mothers from polygamist sect:

A state appellate court ruled Thursday that child welfare officials had no right to seize hundreds of children from a polygamist sect’s ranch on April 3.

It was unclear how many children were affected by the ruling. The state took 464 children into custody, but Thursday’s ruling directly applied to the children of 48 sect mothers represented by the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aide, said Cynthia Martinez of the agency.

The Third Court of Appeals in Austin ruled that the grounds for removing the children were “legally and factually insufficient” under Texas law. The ruling did not immediately order the return of the children.

Child Theft, “Concentration Camps”: It’s Happening Here

If it can happen to the FLDS, it can happen to anyone…

Even before Dan Jessop’s son was born, the State had already made a proprietary claim to him because of the supposed sins of his parents.

I say “sins” because as of yet, neither 24-year-old Dan Jessop, Sr., nor his 22-year-old wife Louisa, has been charged with a crime.

This didn’t prevent the instrument of totalitarian malice called the Texas Department of Child Protective Services from trying to seize control over both the child and his mother as soon as delivery was accomplished.
