Parents object to ban on books, Jeffs' pics

FLDS parents again objected Tuesday to Texas Child Protective Services' ban on religious literature or photographs of polygamous sect leader Warren S. Jeffs.

During one hearing, Seth Jeffs said he was told he could not mention his brother's name during visits with his children. Other parents have said their children's copies of the Book of Mormon were removed because photographs of Jeffs were taped inside.
