In the hearing, lawyers for the parents and the children attacked the family service plans again for being overly broad. Officials allege that there was a pattern of abuse on the YFZ Ranch, with girls being groomed to become child brides and boys growing up to be sexual predators.
Lawyers complain the family service plans are identical, making the same allegations — and recommendations for reunification — for every parent.
CPS caseworkers say the plans will become more individualized as the marathon custody cases move forward. A task force has apparently been created to come up with service providers who are culturally sensitive to the unique beliefs, language and issues surrounding the FLDS faith.
"Does this plan involve only former members?" lawyer Jennifer O'Dwyer asked CPS caseworker Ashley Kennedy.
"Both former and current," she replied.
