Has anyone seen the actual service plan that has been given to the FLDS parents? Here is a news media analysis of the plan.
snip...CPS is proposing to give parents until next April to "provide a home free of persons who have or will abuse" children and "demonstrate the ability to protect the child[ren] from sexual abuse." The children will remain in state custody until a judge is satisfied that the parents have complied.
On Wednesday, CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins stressed that the guidelines known as service plans are silent about plural marriage and religious beliefs of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
snip....The guidelines suggest that any new form of communal living is suspect. As in most child-abuse cases, the service plans say that parents must give CPS workers the names of everyone in the home and let workers make unannounced visits to verify who's there.
But the guidelines reflecting the fact that sect members at the ranch in Eldorado lived in large, four-story log cabins containing multiple families also say that entire residential buildings, such as duplexes, must be open for scrutiny.
"Inform DFPS of your current living arrangements including all persons in your building or other residence [all floors; ages and gender of all members at present and anticipated] and inform DFPS by the next business day if there are any changes," says one task. The Department of Family and Protective Services is the parent agency of CPS.

One attorney is making a fuss about the fact that there are time limits on welfare and the mothers are not trained for any jobs. Which brings up my question........ Haven't they said that FLDS men are good, hard working and loving fathers???? Now wouldn't a good, hardworking, and loving father be eager to provide for all of his kids? And if by some chance he did fall short, wouldn't the church he was so devoted to, the church that allegedly was so devoted to his having large families- be eager to help him out in this emergency????
