SAN ANGELO, Texas — As children from the Fundamentalist LDS Church settled into new foster homes this weekend, the whereabouts of two young boys remains uncertain. Child welfare workers in Texas say they're not worried. But the mother of the boys and attorneys representing the mothers are not sure whether they should be or not.
"We just don't know where they are," Cynthia Martinez told the Deseret News Saturday.
Martinez, the communications director for Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, which represents 48 FLDS mothers, said they had information on where the boys were supposed to be taken but can't confirm anything to emotional parents. It's indicative, she said, of the fear and confusion the parents of the 467 children taken from the YFZ Ranch continue to feel.
Meanwhile, an FLDS member sent a letter to the governor of Texas on Saturday, accusing child welfare officials of "some of the most horrific violations of human rights that have ever been allowed on American soil."
The letter was sent to Texas Gov. Rick Perry from Willie Jessop, an FLDS member who has helped church members publicize their cause. The letter asks the governor to respond and "stop this injustice and abuse" of the innocent FLDS children by separating them from their mothers.

I'm surpised this story hasn't hit the MSM. If these boys end up dead.... this whole thing is going to blow up big time....
This sounds like it could be an FLDS trick. You know they were not giving correct names and the identifications had to be done with DNA, etc.
At times like this, how can you argue against the Conspiracy types?
Two possibilities come to mind:
They won’t be able to tell her anything certain until they do the genetic testing because the kids have been switched around so much between the adult females that CPS still has no idea who belongs to whom. Dr. Baden said on Fox News that it could take up to two months with a full work force of genetic experts working on the DNA samples from the parents and the children.
.
I suspect this is more hype from the fLDS side to whoop up public frenzy. They’ve got their nerve, complaining about missing children when they dump their own boys in the desert or the middle of a city and say, “good luck, don’t ever come back.”
They have gone feral and are hiding in the brush....
Or maybe they never did exist. If I wanted to cause a lot of consternation, I would invent the story that some of the kids were missing. There is no reliable figure on the number that were living at the compound anyway, just the head count taken at the time of the intervention by the sheriff’s department and the Child Services people.
It's tempting, but I still think us 'incompetence types' are more likely to be right.
“”She said the mother of the two unaccounted-for boys contacted her attorney to say she needed to know about her 11-year-old and 16-month-old sons.””
I wonder, did this mother go with her children, when the CPS first took them?
When some brain-dead CPS worker is “not worried” about unaccounted for children, that ought to get you thinking about some things. Outrageous. Accountability anyone?
P.S.
Does she know their names?
“We just don’t know where they are,” Cynthia Martinez told the Deseret News Saturday.
With all these hundreds of children, I’m sure that more than two got “lost in the shuffle”. A pathetic, shameful AND criminal state of affairs.
First you need to prove there are two boys. The cult does not have much of a track record in the truth telling department.
Yes where is the concern from the mothers when this happens.
No surprise here. What should anyone expect when a state undertakes the largest and most stupid child seizure case in US history?
Only 2 of 467. Actually, that’s a pretty good batting average. Nothing to worry about.
Why did they take little boys? There isn’t even an allegation that little boys were sexually abused.
If these boys exist in the first place.
“When some brain-dead CPS worker is “not worried” about unaccounted for children, that ought to get you thinking about some things. Outrageous. Accountability anyone?”
I agree with you 100%. But most here won’t. They just have to keep ALL the blame and guilt on the FLDS members, no matter what happens or doesn’t happen.
“Why did they take little boys? There isn’t even an allegation that little boys were sexually abused.”
And why did they take nursing kids over 13 months away from their mothers, also, forceably weaning them per court decree?
Oh, you mean like the original complainant?
The answer is simple. The government needs to have DNA records on everybody and put a chip in everyone’s wrist or forehead.
