Court: TX should not have taken kids

San Angelo, Texas—A state appellate court has ruled that child welfare officials had no right to seize more than 400 children living at a polygamist sect's ranch.

The Third Court of Appeals in Austin ruled that the grounds for removing the children were "legally and factually insufficient" under Texas law. They did not immediately order the return of the children.


I agree with them. I think there was a rush to judgement and they failed to consider information that undermined what they thought they knew.
