That's good news but from a attachment perspective (which is truly the most 
worrying thing for me) removing children 12 months and older is very bad. I 
can just imagine how overwhelmed the foster care system must be with so many 
children entering the system at once and would be very concerned about the 
quality of the placements having seen here how needy kids can be abused in 
care simply because the system is stretched. I can only think that it would 
be easier for mothers to be caring for their own children under supervision.
To bring it back to breastfeeding a baby securely attached to it's mother 
via sensitive care including breastfeeding will have his or her heart broken 
by being removed from her.

FLDS update: FLDS moms to stay with babies in state care

Updated: 2:30 PM- The judge overseeing the cases of more than 400 FLDS 
children in state custody said this afternoon adult mothers of infants age 
12 months and under should remain with their babies in the state's care. 
District Court Juge Barbara Walther made the request of Texas Child 
Protective Services after receiving an update from the agency on its 
attempts to place the polygamous sect's children in foster homes or 
shelters. CPS agreed.     Earlier this week, Walther rejected a temporary 
restraining order request seeking to keep breastfeeding mothers with their 
babies.     CPS attorney Gary Banks told Walther this afternoon there are 18 
adult mothers with babies 12 months and under. Placements have already been 
found for 16 of those mothers and their children, he said.     Walther also 
requested that CPS keep children older than 12 months in proximity to their 
parents so they can visit frequently.
