Children return to polygamist ranch, but criminal case against sect members looms
Summary from United States, from articles in English
|
The heartwarming sight of children from a polygamist sect being returned to their mothers this week is hardly the end of the story of what went on at the Yearning for Zion ranch in Texas. (article 7)
Child-welfare officials have alleged that members of the sect pushed underage girls into marriages with older men, and while the last of 440 children seized from the ranch were returned to their parents Wednesday, prosecutors could still bring criminal charges. (article 1)
Then there were the abuse allegations, starting with a mysterious telephone call and echoed by disgruntled former members, seemingly accepted at face value. (article 2)
Parents awaiting the release of children taken into state custody during a raid of a polygamist group's ranch may need to wait a few days because so many parents are showing up at foster homes simultaneously, a sect leader said Tuesday. (article 4)
Parents took 129 of the roughly 430 children in foster care on Monday after a judge signed an order clearing the children to leave with their parents, bowing to a state Supreme Court ruling that the seizure was not justified. (article 4)
Child welfare officials expected many of the remaining children to go home Tuesday as parents traveled across the sprawling state to foster facilities where the children were scattered. (article 4)
