Polygamist sect hearing begins in Texas
Lawyers for Texas child welfare chiefs have begun presenting evidence at a hearing on whether a girl allegedly given in marriage at 12 to jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs should be placed back in foster care.
The state wants to remove the girl, now 14, and a younger brother from the care of her mother, saying the mother has refused to guarantee the girl will not have contact with men accused of being involved in underage marriages.
