ShareThisTexas authorities are holding in protective custody a days-old baby boy born to a woman from a polygamy sect as they investigate to determine whether she is a minor.State 51st District Judge Barbara Walther granted Texas Child Protective Services' request Tuesday to take the infant, identified as Richard Daniel Jessop in court documents, into temporary custody and set an initial hearing in his case for May 23.The documents list the mother, identified as Louisa Bradshaw Jessop, as "15 or 16" and say she gave investigators conflicting birthdates when interviewed at the Yearning For Zion Ranch, which was raided last month on suspicion that underage girls among the were at risk of abuse.An FLDS spokesman has said that mother is 22. The child was born Monday in Austin, where his mother is being held.That infant is the second to be born to a woman the state deemed a likely minor and held along with about two dozen others after they were removed last month from the compound of the renegade Mormon sect.The request to hold baby Richard in custody came on the same day that state CPS officials told Judge Walther in a San Angelo court hearing that they no longer believe the first young mother to give birth in custody is a minor."The department has determined she is not a child," CPS attorney Eric Tai told Walther. "She is an adult."The revelation is the first time CPS has reclassified as an adult one of the female "minors in question" removed in last month's raid on the Schleicher County compound.CPS attorneys filed a notice of non-suit for Pamela Jeffs Jessop, the mother of 15-day-old Jonathan Jessop, releasing her from state custody after reaching an agreement with her attorneys.Jessop had told caseworkers in an interview on April 6 at the YFZ Ranch that she was 18, according to documents seeking custody of her son filed in state district court in Tom Green County after his birth April 29."As far as we're concerned, it's been indisputable that she's not a minor," said Natalie Malonis, a Flower Mound attorney appointed to represent Pamela Jessop when she was considered a child.Walther postponed the scheduled 14-day adversarial hearing until Friday at the request of Malonis and co-counsel Andrea Sloan, who said their client had not been served with notice of the hearing until Monday morning.Pamela Jessop, who appeared in court in a pale blue traditional floor-length dress of the type worn by women in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also has a 2-year-old boy, according to the court documents. Based on the birthdates she provided to CPS investigators, she was 15 at the time she and her husband, Jackson Jessop, conceived the older boy."If we possess credible evidence that other minors in question are over 18," then CPS will release them, as well, said spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner, declining to discuss what specific evidence led CPS to reverse course in Pamela Jessop's case. "We are still in the midst of an investigation. We cannot just dismiss them without credible evidence."(Contact Paul A. Anthony of the Standard Times in San Angelo, Texas, at www.texaswest.com.)

Paying taxes unites us. It also divides us. People can pay five and even six times more in state and local taxes than other folks in similar circumstances making similar incomes.
Who's got your number?
In one of the fastest-growing forms of identity theft, crooks are stealing tax refunds by swiping personal information and using it to trick the Internal Revenue Service.
Texas takes custody of infant born to second sect mother
May 23, 2008
Dear Warning OES
I know you may think this is not sane.
The mothers who lost their children and their children are in judgment.
I just saw Pamela Jessop, who is married to her one husband, on the news and the civil rights abuse they all had is causing them to go through judgment. I can tell by her mannerisms that she is in judgment. I would be happy to watch the interview and let someone know what messed with looks like, she is fine through most of the interview. They don't know it, please advise them to turn to God and instruct the Foster Parents too.
Some have sane husbands that have lost their families - they are all in judgment, while the Federal Government checks for DNA which I am told by intrusion can be messed with, this is not fair!
I have been made aware of the civil rights violation that leads to judgment; I had the Freudian civil rights violation of intrusion that lead to judgment. My neighbor one street away, is on house arrest that also lead to judgment.
Before I had voices, I did not know it when I had civil rights violation. I had civil rights violation when I reported the Asian girl tied and bound and the behavioral health left a dull Asian star in my backyard. I also had civil rights violation when an employee alleged sexual harassment, the customers risk management had me on the list. I had civil rights violation when an employee of mine committed suicide, my employer psyched me, even though I wrote a sane report. And this last employer psyched me even though I had everything notarized. The hazards of managing benefits, unemployment, disability and workers compensation.
It is only now that I realize that civil rights violation are almost automatically going all the way through judgment. Is this something new? Is it something that can be stopped, we used to stop it when the law went for Sergeants psych evals.
Please advise them all to be in prayer and give them all their Bibles
back, how criminal that those children are not with the sane parent who is not disobedient, not all are disobedient to God. My fear is that they will not be aware that they are in judgment and become out of character.
