Polygamist sect children hospitalized
At least nine of the children taken from Warren Jeff’s polygamist sect have needed hospital care since taken into protective custody, and the children’s mothers are none too happy that they have not been informed of why, or how their kids are doing.
“We can’t seem to get anyone on the phone with authority to make that happen and the mothers don’t even know the seriousness of the situation,” said Amanda Chisholm, a TRLA attorney.
The legal aid society, which represents 48 mothers, said one 2-year-old child lost a severe amount of weight while staying at the San Angelo Coliseum.
TRLA said the organization was told two days ago that the child was in shock and lethargic, but has received no new information since then about where the child is or regarding her current health situation.
The mother is not being allowed to be with this child or her other nursing children, Chisholm said.
