SAN ANGELO, Texas — Dozens of mothers from a polygamist retreat were bused away from their children Thursday, their legal efforts to stay united rejected as Texas officials sort out their massive custody case.
Two buses took the women from the San Angelo Coliseum, where they had been temporarily housed with their children. Texas officials were preparing to move the last of more than 400 children to group homes, shelters and residences, some hundreds of miles away, over the next few days.
On Thursday, however, the women were gathered and told that children older than 1 year would go with Child Protective Services, said Cynthia Martinez, a spokeswoman for legal aid attorneys representing the mothers. She said they weren't allowed to say goodbye.
The Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado, south of San Angelo, was raided April 3 and is owned by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a renegade Mormon sect.
Without adequate hearings for each child, removing them from their mothers is "in plain violation of Texas and federal law," attorneys said in a motion filed Wednesday.
TREASON!! TREASON!! TREASON!!
