Sect mothers send appeal to governor
The mothers of children removed from a polygamous sect’s ranch have written to Texas Gov. Rick Perry for help.
The mothers say in the letter that some of their children have become sick and require hospitalization.
Officials have said that about a dozen children had chicken pox and that others needed prescription medications, but they haven’t said whether any were hospitalized.
More than 400 children were taken from the ranch run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Eldorado and moved to temporary living quarters in San Angelo.
