A Fundamentalist LDS mother who sought sanctions against Texas child welfare officials for taking her 2-year-old daughter in the raid on the YFZ Ranch has dropped the issue.

Naomi Johnson sought financial damages against Texas Child Protective Services, claiming the agency failed to show it had evidence of abuse involving her daughter, Rebecca, and made sweeping abuse allegations against the entire FLDS community.

A hearing on sanctions was scheduled in San Angelo, Texas, Wednesday. But the hearing was canceled after the toddler was “nonsuited” on Oct. 28.

“We basically swapped nonsuits,” Johnson’s attorney, Robert Gibson Jr., told the Deseret News on Monday. “They dismissed, we dismissed.”
