Snag in Deal to Return FLDS Kids to Parents

The Associated Press:
Parents' hopes of quick reunions with more than 400 children removed from a polygamist sect's ranch were dashed Friday after their attorneys and a judge clashed over proposed restrictions. A decision by Texas District Judge Barbara Walther means that to regain custody, the 38 mothers whose filed the complaint that led the Texas Supreme Court to reject the state's massive seizure must personally sign an agreement their attorneys and state child-welfare officials have proposed. That could add days to the process, attorneys for the mothers said, because the women are scattered across the state to be close to their children in foster care.
