Court: Texas had no right to take polygamists' kids

SAN ANGELO, Texas - A Texas appeals court said Thursday that the state had no right to take more than 400 children from a polygamist sect's ranch, a ruling that could unravel one of the biggest child-custody cases in U.S. history.
...
The state never provided evidence that the children were in any immediate danger, the only grounds in Texas law for taking children from their parents without court approval, the appeals court said.
...
The appeals court also said the state was wrong to consider the entire ranch as an individual household and that any abuse claims could apply only to individual households.
I told you so.

"...the state had no right to take more than 400 children..."

Shows them! They should have stopped at 399.

Now how long will it take them to get the kids back? I'm sure the child protective services will appeal to the Texas Supreme Court first.
