Eldorado – Marleigh Meisner, spokesperson for the Texas Child Protective Services, confirms at a press conference that the CPS has removed 183 people, 137 of them children, from the YFZ “Yearning for Zion” FLDS polygamous compound. The press conference took place at the Eldorado High School, Saturday, April 5, 2008.
This is the first CPS press conference. It was held at the Eldorado High School and helmed by CPS spokesperson Marleigh Meisner. At this point the media on-site was a very small group. Meisner told us that 183 people had been removed from the YFZ Ranch, 137 of them children. I remember that seemed like a big number, though it would soon be eclipsed.
