Child Welfare System Takes on Polygamous Sect

Judge Barbara Walther said today, "We're going to handle this as best we can, one client at a time." The "clients" are 416 children from the Yearning for Zion Ranch, seized by the State of Texas two weeks ago in a polygamy raid. As the marathon child-welfare hearing got underway today in San Angelo, Texas, mothers and father are hoping she'll give them back heir children. Carolyn Jessop, who was in a polygamous marriage as part of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints until she fled with her eight children five years ago, is author of Escape.
