Texas drops half of cases in polygamist sect raid



The Associated Press reports:

Child by child, Texas authorities are acknowledging that many of the children seized during a raid on a polygamist sect’s ranch can safely live with their parents or guardians.

Since the April 3 raid on the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, 235 children’s custody cases have been dropped, meaning fewer than half of the 440 children seized remain bound by a court order to the families to stay in Texas, attend parenting classes or be available for unannounced visits by Child Protective Services.
