Court Says FLDS Kids Unlawfully Taken (Finally, some sanity)

SAN ANGELO, Texas (CNN) -- The state of Texas should not have removed the more than 460 children it took from a polygamist sect's ranch, an appeals court ruled Thursday.

In its ruling, the Texas 3rd District Court of Appeals decided in favor of 38 women who had appealed the removals, as well as a decision last month by a district judge that the children will remain in state custody.

"The existence of the FLDS belief system as described by the department's witnesses, by itself, does not put children of FLDS parents in physical danger," the three-judge panel said.

The state's Department of Family and Protective Services "did not present any evidence of danger to the physical health or safety of any male children or any female children who had not reached puberty," the judges ruled. Video Watch how the ruling favors FLDS »

According to the ruling, the mothers said the state should have proved that the children's health or safety was in danger; that there was "an urgent need for protection" that required immediately separating the children from their parents; and that the state made "reasonable efforts" to avoid removing the children.

Because no such proof was presented, the mothers argued, the District Court -- which backed the department's seizure of the children -- "was required to return the children to their parents and abused its discretion by failing to do so."

"The legislature has required that there be evidence to support a finding that there is a danger to the physical health or safety of the children in question and that the need for protection is urgent and warrants immediate removal," the ruling said.

It concluded, "Evidence that children raised in this particular environment may some day have their physical health and safety threatened is not evidence that the danger is imminent enough to warrant invoking the extreme measure of immediate removal prior to full litigation of the issue."

The children were removed last month from the Yearning for Zion (YFZ) Ranch in Eldorado, Texas, which is owned by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a Mormon offshoot that practices polygamy.

Authorities raided the ranch after they received reports of child abuse.

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4

4/25/08 -Now they took the little babies away from their mothers.

"The April 3 raid on the Yearning For Zion Ranch was prompted by a call made to a family violence shelter, purportedly by a 16-year-old girl who said her 50-year-old husband beat and raped her. That girl has never been identified."

"Under Texas law, children under the age of 17 generally cannot consent to sex with an adult. A girl can get married with parental permission at 16, but none of the sect's girls is believed to have a legal marriage under state law." (In other words, you have to get permission from the government, or approval to be married or else it's not valid. And it appears they're not sure if they are or not. Fascism is HERE.) -Article


If you think you're not affected by this let me ask you this, who's next? When will they start doing this to other sects of christianity? Maybe they'll decide they don't like your theology and come in and take your kids and give them to some kind of demonic, predatory family who teach what? What's acceptable to the state? Teaching evolution? homosexuality? Abortion? Fornication? Teaching them to be idol worshippers like the rest of the world?

"Oh, but the FDLS is a cult" You mean "Sect", "heretic"? That's what the Pope calls every denomination outside the catholic Church! God tells us in His word to "Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness." -James 4:9

This Judge who has allowed this needs to be held accountable! A judge is supposed to be in place of the righteous judgment of God in this country. Instead our courts are ruled by the devil.

"Members of the FLDS church have owned machine shops that have sold airplane components to the United States government. From 1998 until 2007, the receipts of these airplane components totalled over $1.7 million." ~Source (What happened since then? All of a sudden the Government has turned on them?)



The government assaulted these American's rights in going in there and kidnapping their children without any charges or cause. And everyone hasn't learned yet that the media are liars? All the media does is cover up the truth and feed the people propaganda. These are the same allegations they brought against the folks at Waco texas before they burned them all up alive.

ABC has Rick Ross, Covicted felon, on their program calling this criminal a "cult expert". He then says that waco and FLDS were similar groups. This is what Rick ross said about Waco in 1992. Only then he compared waco to jonestown. See how they continue this thing and it evolves?

"Ross deprogrammed Branch Davidian David Block in 1992, prior to the raid. That Davidian was later interviewed by the BATF, which also interviewed Ross. Ross says he deprogrammed another Davidian during the standoff, but this was not reported. He was also one source quoted in the Waco Tribune-Herald's series titled "Sinful Messiah" for which they interviewed over 100 people." ~Source

Nancy Ammerman insisted the FBI relied too much on Ross, a view which is not shared by the other three experts reporting to the Justice department. In her official report to the Justice Department Ammerman wrote:

In late March, Ross recommended that agents attempt to humiliate Koresh, hoping to drive a wedge between him and his followers. While Ross's suggestions may not have been followed to the letter, FBI agents apparently believed that their attempts to embarrass Koresh (talking about his inconsistencies, lack of education, failures as a prophet, and the like) would produce the kind of internal dissension Ross predicted. Because Ross had been successful in using such tactics on isolated and beleaguered members during deprogramming, he must have assumed that they would work en masse. Any student of group psychology could have dispelled that misapprehension. But the FBI was evidently listening more closely to these deprogramming-related strategies than to the counsel of scholars who might have explained the dynamics of a group under siege.


Ross is often criticized regarding his lack of formal training and his early criminal record by those associated with new religious movements, controversial groups or organizations which he studies, such as the Church of Scientology, the Kabbalah Centre and many others, and has been the subject of lawsuits from some of the groups he has criticized. Ross responds that he does not challenge the beliefs of the groups discussed, only their behaviour patterns. Ross was quoted in the Jersey City Reporter as stating: "When these groups hurt people ... that's when I'm concerned about the group." Ross receives legal services pro bono from the law firm Lowenstein Sandler.

Hecklers interrupt Ross' speeches and lectures, reminding him that he was a convicted felon; critics also send copies of his arrest reports to news organizations.
