"All that's going to happen in a courtroom," Van Deusen said. "The judge makes those decisions. We will make recommendations. The children's parents will have input. A judge has to consider all that and decide what's best for the children."
The outcomes of the hearings will be interesting. Hopefully, the courts can untangle the mess they have made out of the situation and get back to protecting the innocent and punishing the perps.

An example of an innocent would be an eleven year old girl, removed from her biological parents.
An example of the perps would be her biological parents, who have practiced plural marriage and statutory rape, and planned to subject the eleven year old to the same.
To me that is the situation in a nutshell. The state would be remiss to not go forward to sort out the facts, provide safety to the innocents, and charge the perps.
Respectfully speaking, the courts didn't make the mess. Warren Jeffs and the FLDS did, through their elaborate shell game to circumvent federal and state laws and their continuing deceit.
