SAN ANGELO, Texas – The first of more than 400 children taken from a polygamist compound boarded buses Tuesday bound for 16 emergency shelters, children's homes and foster care agencies throughout the state, including two in North Texas.
As the buses rolled out, the children eagerly waved and smiled at television cameras. Lawyers inside the San Angelo Coliseum who were meeting with their adult or child clients said authorities allowed no one in or out while the children, 114 of them by day's end, were loaded onto the buses.

“but maybe Warren Jeffs was insuring his patrimony through a series of timely “interventions”.
But that wouldn’t explain why he was buggering his male nephew.
I think we may not understand each other. I agree that the FLDS is a cult - and these children are happy to be taken away from it.
If I misunderstood the intention of your first post, I offer my sincere apology to you.
Why, to practice up for jail, of course.
My, my, my.
What to say?
.......
Can I have your car?
Besides, bet you don't have any relatives in this group, nor have you been a member.
The Conservative position is that there's no room for slavery in America, and this is as good a place to start as any.
Maybe we can get the leftwingtards to go down in the ghettos to help out (rather than just buy dope).

“Why, to practice up for jail, of course.”
LOL!
You know, I wonder if what they say is true?
Adults who molest their children, were molested themselves.
Big Daddy Rulon Jeffs may have been having his way with little Warren.
Can someone tell me why they didn’t round up all the men? Cowards! This reminds me of when the Nazis rounded up all the Jews and put them on trains - separating families because of their religious preference.
I thought it was interesting they dumped all the children in a “coliseum” - you know THUMBS DOWN to the religious people.
The nanny state has gone berserk!! I don’t care what any of you say. It is downright evil to rip these children away from their mothers.
And why do we allow teenage girls all over the U.S. to get pregnant by old geezers and noone cares?
It’s supposed to be one of those things that does get handed down. Be neat to get the secret minutes of the LDS Presidency regarding the planning for execommunicating these pukes. Bet they knew some stuff eh.
It is more evil evil evil for these "mothers" to teach their daughters that it
is expected of them to "marry" some nasty old geezer when they are 14 years old.
Welcome back Sandra.
Either you have been absent, or you have been remarkably quiet until now on this issue.
“The Conservative position is that there’s no room for slavery in America”
The conservative position is one of FREEDOM AND LIBERTY! Rounding up over 400 innocent children and dumping them in foster homes is not my idea of a conservative’s solution. I say arrest all those men!
What they are doing to those children is beyond evil.
Sorry, the "everyone does it" defense has already been tried.
Next?
Maybe we could get them to start wearing those stainless steel stickpins in appropriate places eh ~ then let a fashion statement of lawless independence take its toll.
Yes, that's what I'll do ~ now, to check with some photographers to come up with some good advertising copy.
But, back to the main question ~ why didn't they round up the men?
Well, the men were not minor children for one. Secondly, although there are some criminal charges coming, there were no warrants to arrest the men. And, thirdly, most of the men skedaddled! Yup, they done run away ~ a' headt of the Sheriff man. Oh, yes, they did. They knew something was up, and with the F(lds) it's wimmin 'n chillun first!
From what I have heard a substantial amount of their money comes from welfare.
They had to round up all those children in order to prove that a crime was committed. No under age girl, no crime.
“Bet they knew some stuff eh.”
Had to know.
Bet none of this would have happened, had they moved the FLDS splinter group to AFRICA, instead of TEXAS.

It’s not evil at all. The children are simply in a state of custody transfer. In many cases, provided their parents can identify themselves, the children will be returned in due course. Now if the people who claim they are the parents can’t identify themselves that’s a whole ‘nuther story.
So you think it’s OK for some old disgusting uncle or step father to get a teenage girl pregnant - no price to pay? Why is this situation any different? All over America, old creepy men are banging teenage girls and getting them pregnant. In some cultures in America, teenage girls are encouraged by their own mothers to get pregnant by old creeps so they can collect welfare. Why don’t they go round up all those women and children? Why have they zeroed in on these people with such vicious force? Think about it.
I don’t get you guys. Someone must want that ranch land pretty bad.
Don’t ping me with your ravings.
It’s weird that all the people who keep whinging about “due process” and the constitution keep saying all the men should have been rounded up.
