All children to be returned home.

It seems that the child welfare officials have agreed to return all children in the polygamist sect case. Then even admitted to false information that they put out to the public

“Texas officials claimed at one point that there were 31 teenage girls at the ranch who were pregnant or had been pregnant, but later conceded that about half of those mothers, if not more, were adults. One was 27“.

I wonder if these people will end up back in court suing the State of Texas for their wrong doing in the case.

“Under state law, children can be taken from their parents if there's a danger to their physical safety, an urgent need for protection and if officials made a reasonable effort to keep the children in their homes. The high court agreed with the appellate court that the seizures fell short of that standard.”

As I understand the facts of this case, they acted on one phone call from a calling they have never identified. Just think, this could happen to you if someone who did not like you decided to call in on you. This is obviously an abuse of power from the child-welfare department of Texas.
