ELDORADO, Texas – Mothers from a polygamous sect described an emotional, rushed scene when they were forced from the shelter where they had been staying with their young children since the state removed them from their homes.
“My two oldest were just terrified and they clung to me saying, `Mother, mother, we want to go with you,’” said Ruth, her voice breaking as she began to cry. She and other members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who spoke outside the sect’s ranch Thursday declined to give their last names, fearing it will affect their custody cases.
Dozens of mothers were bused away from their children at the San Angelo Coliseum on Thursday after their legal efforts to stay united were rejected. Texas officials were preparing to move the last of the more than 400 children taken from the sect’s ranch to group homes, shelters and residences, some hundreds of miles away, over the next few days.
One woman held a handwritten sign out the bus window that read: “SOS. Mothers separated. Help.”
