The 18-year-old has secured a few more rights over her newborn baby than other members of the Fundamentalist LDS Church have over their children, her attorneys said Friday.

Jessop was in court for a hearing over the custody of her baby boy, born April 29. It was to be an adversarial hearing, where Texas child welfare officials entered evidence of abuse and sought to retain sole custody of her baby.

“We have reached an agreement,” said Eric Tai, a lawyer for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. He announced in court, “The department will be a temporary conservator of baby boy Jeffs. Since the mom is under 21, she will be placed with both of her children in a place to be determined.”

Jessop also was named a possessor and a conservator over her child, said her attorney, Natalie Malonis.

“It’s a rather large victory,” Malonis said Friday. “A possessor and a conservator under the family code has certain rights that, as far as I know, none of the other (FLDS) parents are enjoying right now. She has rights to information and rights to participate in the child’s life — and those are enforceable rights.”
