A month after their children were returned, FLDS parents are getting the first word about parenting classes the state of Texas has required them to complete.

Marleigh Meisner, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, said the classes will begin to be scheduled within the next 10 days. They will be standard parenting classes consisting of two, four-hour sessions.

“The curriculum will be much like those that the agency uses with other clients,” Meisner said in a statement. “The instructors will be trained on how to best deliver this information to these FLDS parents.”

Tom Green County Judge Barbara Walther ordered the classes for FLDS parents as a condition of allowing the 440 children taken from the polygamous sect’s West Texas Ranch to be returned to their families last month.
