The movement came after Judge Barbara Walther issued an order setting destinations and explaining how the children will be placed.
Walther ordered that mothers who are minors will be placed with their babies, with pregnant minors in the same location.
Children under 12 months will be placed in foster homes with their siblings who are under 5, she said, and every attempt will be made to place [other] siblings together.
Boys 8 and older will be placed at the Cal Farley Boys Ranch northwest of Amarillo, where 27 adolescent boys already have been staying.

and

Walther's order said the specialized needs of the mothers and children have been shared with the care providers, as well as their background and cultural characteristics. Texas Children Protection Services workers will be arranging meetings with those facilities to take care of medical and educational needs, the judge said.
The facilities are located in Amarillo, Abilene, Waxahachie, Houston and elsewhere in the state.

A day after a Texas judge asked the LDS Church to help monitor prayer sessions of women and children from a fundamentalist polygamous group, a church spokesman said doing so would be inappropriate.
Scott Trotter, spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said that the church has heard about the judge's request only through news reports and therefore has "no clear understanding of what, if anything, we are being invited to do."
In an e-mail statement, Trotter said it would be "erroneous to base any request for assistance from members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the basis that our beliefs and practices are close to those of this polygamous group because they are not."
He also acknowledged that such a request would not be fair, either to the polygamous FLDS, which "long ago chose a different path from ours. In fact, many in these isolated communities view us with some hostility as part of the outside world they have rejected."
 
Their lawyers say many were reluctant to offer samples for testing they believe is invasive and unnecessary.

"We've told them to cooperate, but there are a lot of people who are reluctant," said Cynthia Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Legal Aid attorneys who represent dozens of mothers. "There's a perception there that the state will be using it to separate them" rather than reunite them with their children.

Susan Hays, an attorney for a toddler, said some fathers may have left the state, fearing that the tests are really designed to help prosecutors make criminal abuse cases.

Utah probing call alleging abuse in Hildale

SAN ANGELO, Texas — The Utah Attorney General's Office has been asked to investigate a phone call alleging abuse in the polygamist border town of Hildale that appears to be similar to calls that sparked the raid on the YFZ Ranch.
The Division of Child and Family Services declined to give specific details about the phone call or when it was made but confirmed it claimed child abuse and neglect. Like all calls, DCFS caseworkers investigated it.

"What we got was some information that this may or may not be related to an existing criminal matter," said Liz Sollis, a spokeswoman for the Utah Department of Human Services, which oversees DCFS.

Arizona has about half the world's population of known fumarase deficiency patients," said Dr. Theodore Tarby, a pediatric neurologist who has treated many of the children at Arizona clinics under contracts with the state.

"It exists in a certain percentage of the broader population but once you get a tendency to inbreed you're inbreeding people who have the gene there, so you markedly increase the risk of developing the condition," he said.

Four empty buses this morning pulled into the San Angelo Coliseum where FLDS children now in state custody are being housed.

The buses were being inspected by state troopers as of 9:45 a.m., and could be there to take more children to foster homes and shelters located throughout the state.

and

Walther is scheduled to meet with Texas Child Protective Services officials in court this afternoon for an update on the foster care placements.
 
Southern Law Poverty Center:

It was on the basis of that unvarnished racism, preached as official FLDS doctrine, that the Southern Poverty Law Center began listing FLDS as a hate group in 2005

"so far none of the dozens of stories and broadcast segments about Texas authorities taking 219 children and women from the YFZ compound into protective custody have even mentioned the fact that along with advocating child brides and plural marriage, FLDS doctrine is venomous with anti-black racism."

Audio clips reveal FLDS leader’s racist teachings from the "The Eldorado Success."
Warren & Rulon Jeffs


The center in Montgomery, Ala., describes a hate group as one with beliefs or practices that attack
or malign an entire class of people, usually based on characteristics such as skin color or religion.

"Attorney Rodney Parker of Salt Lake City, who represents the church, said Jeffs’ remarks come from a strict interpretation of the early teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The theological discussion does not equate to racism, he said. These people are the fundamentalists,” Parker said. “They take the teachings of the early Mormon prophets literally and seriously.” He added: “I’ve never heard anyone in the church promote racism or discrimination. They promote tolerance.”

Another member of the FLDS responded covering such issues as child marriage, welfare, sexual abuse, Warren Jeffs and his prophesies, his spies, the racism he preaches and other issues.

"This talking is precisely why it’s imperative for Warren to get the people separated and isolated into different compounds to keep control of their minds. People that converse with one another are dangerous to Warren’s plan." "Then he could isolate them, divide them, and conquer them."

"I was there and witnessed it and am still witnessing the amazing ability of our people to twist and bend the truth into every configuration imaginable so they can believe in the work and still follow Warren, which, to me, is the same as believing a lie and being damned."

"In this article, I’ve told of some of the inner workings of the FLDS church that are private and sacred. I’m sure now that you are going to have to join in a special prayer for God to execute me, as you have done in the past towards other individually named apostates. I’m telling you, Warren Jeffs no longer has power over my mind. I have released myself from his control.
If he figures out who I am and has me killed (blood atonement) for telling church secrets, at least I die free and that can’t be taken from me. To be honest with you though, I’m not yet ready for Warren’s idea of “renewal.” I love my family."

Glad to hear they are complying.

It will be interesting to follow the impacts of foster care.

I like this guy's comment, that, well, if they eat processed or junk food, so be it. If the possibility exists that they will be placed in more permanent state care, they had better get used to mainstream culture.

In addition, CPS has sent instructions to the foster homes to feed the youngsters fresh fruits and vegetables, chicken, rice and other foods that may have been grown on the 1,700-acre ranch.

"They don't eat a lot of processed food and we're not going to encourage that," Pulliam said, but noted that if the children want to eat processed or junk food, no one is going to stop them.
