FLDS teen won't let Texas officials see her baby

FLDS teen won't let Texas officials see her baby

Texas officials' attempts to locate a baby born this summer to a girl who is a member of a polygamous sect resumed Tuesday afternoon in San Angelo.

On Thursday, 51st District Judge Barbara Walther ordered the 17-year-old girl, her baby and the girl's mother to appear in court after the Department of Family and Protective Services said the teenager refused to let it see the infant.

In a court filing, the department said it wants to conduct an "inspection, observation and genetic testing" of the infant to "protect the safety and welfare" of the teenage mother.

Note: Good for her!
