Foster Care System Challenged By Sect's Youth

Some characterizations can be inaccurate:

The more than 400 children taken from the polygamist compound in West Texas are being scattered to group homes and boys' and girls' ranches across the state, plunged into a culture radically different from the community where they and their families shunned the outside world as a hostile, contaminating influence on their godly way of life.

Child Protective Services said it chose foster homes where the youngsters can be kept apart from other children for now.

"Godly way of life"--who says? Some of the children were trying to pretend they were adults; obviously to hide the fact that children were having children.
