ELDORADO - Rod Parker, spokesman for parents of the children removed from the YFZ Ranch, said a car with two state Child Protective Service workers showed up today at the ranch and the workers said they had heard children were at the ranch.

Officials of the ranch, which serves as home for members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, asked whether the CPS workers had a search warrant, Parker told reporters outside the gate.

The CPS officials left, he said, but ranch officials think there is a good chance the CPS officials will return.

"As far as I know, there are no children," Parker said, "but I haven't searched" the ranch.

Most people on the ranch are visiting their children or are in San Angelo, where Day 3 of 60-day custody hearings involving more than 450 sect children are under way, he said.

1. If CPS thinks the FLDS will ever allow them in without a warrant,

CPS is delusional. Got any evidence? Take it to a judge. Get a warrant. Otherwise, go away.

2. If there are any children there, now they will be moved

somewhere else. CPS should not have gone there without a warrant.

3. If the parents want their kids

Then they need to be opening the doors and inviting them in. Showing they have nothing to hide.

4. They can start by checking the men's bed

What a sick cult. I hope there really are no children on that ranch.
