A judge is expected to hear testimony Monday from child welfare officials who say Tony Alamo Christian Ministries punishes children with beatings and from parents who say the allegations are just part of an attempt to destroy their church.

After the hearing on the future of the children taken from the ministry is complete, Miller County Circuit Judge Joe Griffin will determine whether 23 children removed from the ministry in November and December are the victims of abuse or neglect. Griffin will decide whether they should remain in foster care, go to live with relatives outside the ministry or be allowed to return to their parents, possibly with conditions.

One Response to “Hearing on Alamo-case kids set for Monday”

Ought to be a really fair and just trial. The judge who is hearing this cases is the same judge who signed the order for DHS to pick up the 150+ children. And his order was signed BEFORE he heard EVEN ONE WORD of (false) testimony. God help these desperate and distraught children. No one will.
