Texas Ranch CPS Case Has Mostly Evaporated

SAN ANTONIO — The massive custody case that swept 439 children from a polygamist sect’s West Texas ranch into foster care has largely evaporated, with Texas authorities dropping all but a few dozen cases against parents.

All but 37 children from the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado have been released from court oversight after Child Protective Services found they had NOT been abused or that their parents could protect them from the risk of future abuse. Only one girl has been returned to foster care.

“CPS has taken a lot of criticism for this operation since April, but we’ve been doing everything we can to work with these families to ensure positive outcomes,” he said. “If they’re safe to the point where court oversight is no longer necessary, that’s great news.” said CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins.

Authorities raided the ranch run by the Fundamentalist Church in April after someone claiming to be an abused underaged mother called a domestic abuse hotline. The caller has never been identified and the calls are now being investigated as a hoax.

Following the raid, CPS swept all the children into state custody, the largest custody case in U.S. history, claiming underage girls were being forced into marriages and sex and that the other children were at risk of abuse. Local CPS offices get millions of federal dollars based directly the number of kids they remove from the homes of their residents and millions in bonuses when they adopt these kids out.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled CPS had overreached by putting all the children into foster care.

The parents were ordered to take parenting classes and cooperate with CPS investigators, and they could not leave the state.

One by one, the state has been dropping the children from court oversight.

“The dismissal of the cases proves what the church has said all along, that the children were not abused. The cases that remain in court are there because of varying qualities of legal representation, not because of actual abuse, It has nothing to do with the facts of the case,” said FLDS spokesman Willie Jessop.

While the parents and children can legally return to the Ranch, few have, Jessop said. With almost no one working over the spring and summer in the sprawling garden and dairy they used to feed the community, the ranch doesn’t have the supply of food and resources it once did.

Their lifestyle was disrupted by the state when parents moved to individual homes around Texas in an effort to get their children back, Jessop said.

They disrupted the community and its ability to function as it was, community members may now have to seek public assistance they never needed when the garden and dairy were fully operational.

This is CPS corruption run amuck. Clearly this is the biggest and most publicized kidnapping of children I have ever witnesses only the parents are not asked for the ransom. The ransom is predetermined by the Federal Government and its funding CPS on a pay-per-child basis. STOP THE MADNESS.
