A 14-year-old girl allegedly married to jailed polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs with her parents' blessing at age 12 has been ordered back into foster care by a Texas judge.
Her 11-year-old brother will be allowed to stay with his mother but will have to undergo psychological evaluation.
The case was the first effort by Child Protective Services to retake custody of a child who lived at the Yearning For Zion Ranch before the April raid that resulted in 440 children being placed in foster care for 6 weeks.
The Texas Supreme Court struck down that early custody decision and the children were returned to their parents.
According to court filings, lawyers reached settlements today in three of the other five custody cases. The three girls can stay with their mothers, provided the women restrict contact with men accused of being involved in underage marriages and comply with other custody-related court orders.
Hearings are under way for the other two children the agency still wants in foster care.
