The parents could not or would not identify their biological children, and the children did not know who their real mothers were. DNA testing will establish that.
The mothers knew that if they identified their own children and told their own identities and real ages, that information would implicate their polygamist husbands. So they all kept quiet and refused to say.
The judge will get it sorted out.

"Ms. Jessop fled the compound in 2003 with eight of her children.
She said that for several years now, children have been reassigned from one father to another and even one family to another as Warren Jeffs, the prophet of the FLDS, grew increasingly tyrannical.
That, she said, helps explain why so many of the children are unable or unwilling to tell authorities who their parents are."

__________________ CPS, Texas Rangers and Mothers meet (one day last week)
CPS workers, Texas Rangers, and some FLDS mothers meet and come to some agreement. Mothers agree to give Texas Rangers names of everyone in the shelters, their date of birth, and the name of the mother for each child.
Mothers also agree to give CPS a list naming everyone in the shelters and their date of birth.
Texas Rangers and CPS in turn agree to reunite children with mothers and return the cell phones. Later in the evening three ladies accompany Texas Rangers, CPS workers, and constables to each shelter, except #1 and #2, to help encourage the mothers and children to give the needed information.
Texas Rangers say they will be back in the morning to do shelters #1 and #2. The mothers and children respond and cell phones are returned. http://captivefldschildren.org/TimeLine.php
