Court says Texas had no right to remove FLDS children
SAN ANGELO, Texas (CNN) -- The state of Texas should not have removed more than 400 children it took from a polygamist sect's ranch, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
The YFZ Ranch encompasses 1,700 acres near Eldorado, Texas.
Earlier this year, authorities raided the Yearning for Zion ranch in Eldorado, Texas, after they received reports of child abuse.
About 460 children were taken from the ranch, which is run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a polygamist sect linked to the jailed "prophet" Warren Steed Jeffs.
Parents have denied the claims of abuse and have been fighting to get their children back.Link to Story
