Report cites flaws in raid at polygamist site
Report cites flaws in raid at polygamist site
When child welfare officials raided the West Texas polygamist compound led by Warren Jeffs, they seriously underestimated the number of children they would find — a miscalculation that limited the success of the investigation into child abuse, according to a new paper by local experts.

AP Interview: Texas Ranger says raid on polygamists’ compound vindicated by Jeffs verdict
AP Interview: Texas Ranger says raid on polygamists’ compound vindicated by Jeffs verdict
Investigators made no mention of child sex tapes, or seized photos of polygamist leader Warren Jeffs kissing young girls, after their April 2008 raid on the sect’s remote Texas compound. Instead, the public saw the televised spectacle of more than 400 children being bused from the ranch over an abuse hotline call that proved to be bogus.
Note: Vindicated my ass. 1 or 2 kids being abused does not justify the removal of hundreds.

Texas prosecutors defend search warrant for 2008 raid on polygamist ranch at appeals hearing
Texas — A massive 2008 raid on a Texas polygamist ranch was triggered by "reckless" investigators who didn't verify calls to a domestic abuse hotline that proved to be a hoax rather than cries for help from a battered teenage mom claiming to be pregnant again, attorneys for a convicted sect member said Wednesday.

Arizona Dismisses Charges Against Criminal Warren Jeffs
On June 9, 2010, at the request of a motion by Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith, Judge Steven Conn dismissed the four charges of "accomplice to sexual conduct with a minor" in Arizona against Warren Jeffs, leader of the rogue Mormon sect, the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Dismissing the charges "with prejudice," Arizona quickly sent Jeffs back to Utah where he was convicted of similar charges in 2007.

Order bars dad from discussing polygamy
A Utah father is fighting an order that bars him from sharing his Fundamentalist Mormon views with his children -- or even taking them to this small town he now calls home, where most residents hold a religious belief in polygamy that a judge deemed "harmful."

Rozita Swinton, a Colorado Springs woman suspected of making fake phone calls that sparked the 2008 child-protection raid against a polygamist sect in Texas, pleaded guilty in an unrelated false-reporting case on Wednesday.
