Summary from multiple countries, 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 9)
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 5)
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 5)
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 5)
According to Monday's ruling, parents are allowed to pick up their children but can't leave Texas without court permission and must participate in parenting classes. (article 7)
The order comes days after the Texas Supreme Court said child welfare officials had no right to seize hundreds of children from a west Texas polygamist ranch run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. (article 7)
