	Polygamists Gain Custody of Children By Stephanie Simon and Ann Zimmerman Wall Street Journal May 30, 2008 http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121209817083030705.html?mod=googlenews_wsj AUSTIN Children removed from a West Texas polygamist ranch could be heading home within days, after Texas' highest court ruled against the state in a massive child custody case Thursday. The Texas Supreme Court said in an unsigned opinion that Child Protective Services' removal of children was "not warranted." It left intact an appellate court's finding that CPS hadn't proved the children were in immediate danger and failed to fully explore alternatives to removing them. The appellate court had ordered Judge Barbara Walther of San Angelo to vacate her orders putting sect children in CPS custody. The Supreme Court said that Judge Walther still has tools at her disposal to protect kids, even if she releases all of the more than 450 children.
