In the largest child welfare action undertaken here, or perhaps anywhere in the nation, officials said they now have temporary legal custody of 401 children taken from a polygamous sect's ranch in Eldorado.
And 133 women are with the children at Fort Concho, a historic military base 45 miles from the sect's compound in West Texas.
An affidavit explaining why the state moved to take custody was filed for each child late Monday, but 51st District Judge Barbara Walther had not yet decided whether they could be released under Texas law.
The judge did release copies of a new search warrant she signed at 10 p.m. on Sunday. - sltrib
If there is child abuse then address it, but control freaks need to let people live the way they want. Who cares if a man has more than one wife or a wife has more than one husband? Not me. Marriage as a lifetime commitment between one man and one woman does not work for a huge number of people. So, let people try other arrangements.

It is especially weird in light of the normalization of homosexuality. It is also entirely legal to not be married to several different women, live with them, and get them pregnant. It seems if all of these variations on the sexual theme are ok, then what's the justification for this?
I don't support the "trading" in young people as future marriage partners though. It's too much like slavery.
Smells like they're burning the witches again. not to mention that it was legal in Utah for 14 yrs old to marry (with parental consent) until about 2 yrs ago when the lesbians, feminists and their enablers got attorney general mark "zeig heil" shurtleff to raise the age.
oppressors always resort to making the religion of their enemies a crime. Isn't that what happened in babylon under nebachadnezer? weren't the jews almost exterminated because they refused to worhip the king ahead of god? note: the enemies of the jews had nebachadnezer enact a law requiring that only the king could be worshiped. it was the death penalty to worship god.
if it was okay to marry a 14 year old two years ago then it is okay today--the only thing that has changed is that the lesbians and feminist managed to amend the marriage statute. well...it is time to amend it back.
Rape in the name of God. Sick....
