SAN ANGELO, Texas - A plan to begin reuniting parents with more than 400 children removed from a polygamist group's ranch has been thrown into doubt because a judge and the families are clashing over proposed restrictions.
Texas District Judge Barbara Walther has refused to sign an order restoring custody to the parents until they agree to more restrictions than state child-welfare officials have proposed.
Walther was directed by an appeals court to reverse her ruling last month putting all children from the Yearning For Zion Ranch into foster case. The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the appeals court's decision Thursday and rejected the state's argument that all the children were in immediate danger from what it said was a cycle of sexual abuse of teenage girls at the ranch.
REMOVE THE JUDGE
The higher court must remove the judge.
She has blatantly defied the Supreme Court of Texas.
She must be removed.
Deal to return Texas sect kids to parents hits snag
This is over the top, these people are out of control. The court has ordered Judge Walther to vacate this case, no conditions, no restrictions - the order said "you have 10 days to vacate this action" - period. All the posturing and all the appealing did not stop the order to vacate, it has been upheld, it still stands. It is my personal opinion that to attempt to place conditions upon the return of the children at this late date is misrepresentation at least and perhaps even criminal. These children MUST be returned. All of this posturing is foolishness and somebody will go to jail if it continues.
