Dear Adoption Maharishi,

Any recent updates on the children removed from the YFZ Ranch in April 2008?

-looking for new news

Dear Looking,

Here is a quick summary of past events. April 2008, Texas Child Protective Services raided the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint (FDLS)'s ranch based on a phone call. The caller claimed to be a 16-year old girl. She claimed to be beaten and raped. 475 children were removed from FDLS families.

Texas Polygamist Case Update: FDLS in the News

Finally we have an update on the Texas Polygamist case that may have slipped the minds of many by now since it began all the way back in April. As a quick refresher, the government went into a FLDS sect with high suspicion but little evidence, and took 460 children that they had a hunch were being abused.

Turns out whether or not the children were being abused doesn’t really come into play if you don’t have sufficient evidence, which as we just went over, the police did not, so they began slowly making plans and agreements with the parents to allow some of the children to go back home.
