FLDS Free at last

Free at last: Courts end broad-brush injustice against FLDS children

"Two months after Texas officials raided a ranch and removed 468 children from their homes, a court, at the direction of the Texas Supreme Court, has ended this injustice, ordering that the children be reunited with their parents. Many of the children, whose parents belong to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, had been forced into foster care and scattered across the vast Lone Star State.
Two Texas appeals courts, including the state's Supreme Court, recognized that tearing these kids from their families was unwarranted without specific evidence of child abuse."

Thank Goddess, but now, what about the damage these families have suffered? Nothing will ever fix that. I rejoice yet still weep for them.
