Deseret News | FLDS win big victory: "ELDORADO, Texas — As Julie Balovich stepped out of her car here at the gates of the YFZ Ranch, a woman from the Fundamentalist LDS Church ran up and hugged her, crying softly.
It was huge court victory Thursday for the mothers of more than 450 children taken in the raid at the FLDS Church's sprawling ranch. Austin's 3rd Court of Appeals ruled that Texas child welfare authorities acted improperly in removing the children and suggested that the FLDS belief system alone does not constitute abuse to children.
'This is huge,' said Balovich, a lawyer for a group of FLDS mothers, smiling widely. 'It's exciting. This is a great day for families!'"
