The Children of Eldorado











The state of Texas has now removed 401 children, and over a hundred adult women, from the FLDS compound in Eldorado, Texas, and been granted temporary legal custody of several of them, on grounds of possible abuse and neglect, or threat of the same. According to a news conference just held by the state authorities, the adult women came of their own volition and wanted to leave.

Finding foster homes to take and house all of them is a logistic nightmare for a state already stretched to its limits in the foster care system.
