31 Teen Girls from Texas Sect are Mothers or PregnantSalem-News.comEvery child removed from the Yearning for Zion ranch due to the pattern of sexual, physical and emotional abuse detected there is accounted for.
(SAN ANTONIO) - The final census of FLDS children shows 463 minors were temporarily placed in foster care last week, with the exception of 6 children who are hospitalized. Since the removal 3 other children were treated at hospitals and released. Every child has been provided whatever medical they require. No child has ever been missing. Every FLDS child removed from the Yearning for Zion ranch due to the pattern of sexual, physical and emotional abuse detected there is accounted for. Every child has a photo ID. A caseworker has been assigned for each child. These caseworkers will only work on FLDS cases and have no more than 15 children. Over the next few days each court appointed ad-litem attorney, for which DFPS has accurate contact information, will be contacted. New ad litems or those not on DFPS’s list may call a toll free number and leave that information so DFPS can contact them. Of the 463 children, 250 are female and 213 are male. 31 of the 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 are mothers of children, pregnant, or both. This group includes many girls who previously claimed to be adults. The number of girls versus boys is very close until the children reach the age of 14. Between 14 and 17 there are 3 girls for every teenage boy (53 girls and 17 boys). Two of the 17 teenage boys turned 18 while in state care and have signed agreements indicating they wish to stay with the children for now. Related
