From Deseret News archives:
One phase of FLDS work is complete
"The demobilization of resources in San Angelo was completed only (Monday)," said Gov. Rick Perry's spokeswoman Krista Piferrer. "It was a large scale effort with a tremendous law enforcement presence, nonprofit presence and (Child Protective Services) workers from all around the state. We basically transformed a coliseum into a shelter.
"The demobilization is picking up all the sleeping bags and picking up all the toys," Piferrer said. "We have to try to return the local facilities to their proper nature put them back in the hands of local officials."
The exodus allows San Angelo to return to some semblance of normalcy. But the efforts continue to help settle the children into more than a dozen foster care facilities throughout Texas, as well as help their parents know what is going on.
Boys located
Attorneys identified Monday the location of an 11-year-old boy whose name had not been included in a master list of the children and the foster care facilities where they were taken.
The toddler is believed to be at one of the facilities, but authorities still aren't sure where. There are three children in custody with the same or similar names.
CPS workers insist the two boys have always been safe, but because of confusion with many of the children's names and birth dates, it's been difficult to properly identify all of them. Many of the mothers and children provided false or different information at various times, they say.
"The placement list we have might not agree with the mothers, but that's the information we were given by them," said CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins. "It's certainly understandable and probably frustrating, but I don't think you can consider those children were ever unaccounted for or missing."
Six in hospital
Martinez said the legal aid group was also able Monday to broker an arrangement with CPS to allow three mothers they represent to visit their children who are hospitalized.
