This article is about the polygamy sect that was swept by the police. The children of the sect were taken away by the police due to the fact that young girls were being forced into marriage. There were about 397 children that were return back to the sect already. These people are from a sect called Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This sector broke away from the Mormon Church in a way that they believe polygamy brings glorification in heaven. Upon the return of the children, many people saw the police raging the village to find evidence of underage girls being forced to have sex or forced into marriage.
The investigation apparently started from a call from a sixteen years-old mother to a hotline claiming her middle-age husband is abusing her. The court removed all the children at the beginning of the investigation because they believed that the church was forcing underage girls into marriage with older men. The court was forced to send an order to give the children back because at the appeal, the attorney proved that there was no main evidence that all of the kids were being abused. The kids were said that they were well taken care of in the foster facility and many parents moved near the facility to be close to their kids.
Part of the investigation was also to take DNA samples and to see which kids belong to whom. One of the member of this polygamy sect is Warren Jeffs, a convicted felon as an accomplish in a rape case and is in jail in Arizona, is being investigated for having sex with under aged girls from 12-15 in the sect. As for the parents of the returning children, they are required to attend parenting classes and are not allowed to leave the state until the investigation is over. The children are also required to be check as part of the investigation.
