FLDS update: Texas Supreme Court lets ruling stand to return sect children to parents

In doing so, the high court rejected the Texas Department of Families and Protective Services’ plea to overturn the Third Court of Appeals ruling that the children should be returned to their parents.
The opinion was met with delight by attorneys representing the FLDS families. Kevin Dietz of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid said he would work with the courts and state Child Protective Services to do what’s in the best interest of the children. “Right now, that means reuniting these families,” he said.
In its brief opinion, the court decided by a six-to-three justice majority that “we are not inclined to disturb the Court of Appeals’ decision. On the record before us, removal of the children was not warranted.” The state had argued the appellate decision left it unable to guard the children’s safety from what it had deemed imminent danger of sexual and physical abuse due to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ practice of polygamy……….. sltrib.com
