Lawyers representing a group of FLDS mothers caught up in the raid on the YFZ Ranch are headed back to court in an attempt to force child welfare authorities to hand over evidence of child abuse and neglect.

They say evidence has not been shared with lawyers representing parents and children from the Fundamentalist LDS Church ever since the judge overseeing the massive custody case issued a July 24 order suspending discovery.

It was done after a request by Texas Child Protective Services, which said no plan was ever created by the courts to provide discovery to numerous lawyers representing children in the case.

“Although the investigations have not been completed, and the Department has not yet reached a conclusion with respect to all the alleged abuse and neglect of the more than 400 children involved in these cases, numerous parties propounded interrogatories and other discovery requests,” CPS lawyer Charles Childress wrote in a motion filed July 24.

“Efforts to reach agreements on the timing and content of discovery have been unsuccessful, and resources that would otherwise be available to resolve legal issues relating to the children have been devoted to dealing with discovery requests and resulting disputes.”
