CBS News has gone inside the remote New Mexico compound where officials say 11 children were found living in squalor. The dusty property is littered with shell casings, trash, and toys. Authorities raided the compound last week and arrested five adults on child abuse charges.

Prosecutors say the children, ranging in age from one to 15, were malnourished, living without electricity or plumbing, reports CBS News' Jericka Duncan. Authorities say they also found the body of a child and the estranged wife of the man accused of leading this compound is speaking out.

"FBI Agent Travis Taylor testified Monday during a court hearing in Taos that one of the 11 children found at the makeshift compound and taken into custody said during an interview that the boy, Abdul-ghani Wahhaj (ahb-DOOL' GAH'-nee wah-HAJ'), had died in February."

Judge sets bail for adults arrested at New Mexico compound

"TAOS, N.M. (AP) — A state judge on Monday cleared the way for five defendants who were arrested on child abuse charges at a remote New Mexico compound to be released pending trial despite authorities’ suspicions that the group was training children to use firearms for an anti-government mission.

Judge Sarah Backus set a $20,000 bond for each defendant and ordered that the two men and three women wear ankle monitors, have weekly contact with their attorneys, not consume alcohol and have no firearms....

Despite the release terms, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj is likely to remain in jail pending a warrant for his arrest in Georgia on accusations that he abducted his own son, Abdul-ghani, from the boy’s mother in December and fled to New Mexico. The four other defendants — Jany Leveille, Lucas Morton, Subhannah Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj — may be released on house arrest as soon as Tuesday.

Family members say the remains of a boy found at the compound last week are those of Wahhaj’s disabled son, though state medical examiners have not yet identified the body conclusively. Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe testified Monday that the remains of a young boy were found inside tunnels that had been dug from inside the compound to an opening 100 feet (30 meters) away....

Agent Travis Taylor described interviews with two children from the compound, ages 13 and 15, after they were taken into protective custody by the state.

The 15-year-old described attempts to cast demonic spirits from Abdul-ghani’s body through a ritual that involved reading passages from the Quran while Siraj Ibn Wahhaj held a hand on the boy’s forehead, and that Abdul-ghani apparently died after one of the sessions, Taylor said.

He said the children were told that Abdul-ghani would be resurrected as Jesus and “would instruct others on the property about what corrupt institutions to get rid of,” in reference to financial and government institutions that might include schools."

Brother: Atlanta family saw miraculous sights in New Mexico desert

Brother: Atlanta family saw miraculous sights in New Mexico desert

Some quotes from the link:

Before his sister’s arrest, Von Chelet Leveille says he talked to her every day and she told him about incredible things happening on her secluded desert compound.

Leveille, 37, who lives in Haiti, even heard about the death of a 3-year-old boy there, believed to be a Clayton County child reported missing. He also said his sister Jany Leveille, 35, told him the child would soon come back to life as Jesus.

“At first,” the brother told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “it sounded ridiculous to me.”
But as weeks turned to months of the compound’s occupants watching the body, which had been placed in a tunnel, even the brother began to wonder if it would be true. It didn’t seem as far-fetched when he thought of the stories they’d been telling him — and the photos they sent — from the camp, such as the time a face appeared in the sky, or when the clouds took on the shape of a winged creature and they all cried.

But an FBI agent who testified Monday in a bond hearing for the adults, gave a wildly different account of what the group was doing. Agent Travis Taylor said the children were told the dead child would come back as Jesus and then instruct them which “corrupt institutions” to eliminate.

Jany Leveille allegedly told others at the camp she believed the child had already been dead and was only still animated because he was possessed by demons, the agent said.

Dad Pleads Not Guilty in Child Death at New Mexico Compound

The father of a 3-year-old boy found dead in a filthy New Mexico compound and his partner pleaded not guilty Wednesday to new charges of child abuse resulting in death after lesser charges were dismissed against them and other members of their extended family as the result of a deadline missed by prosecutors.

The dead boy’s father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj (see-DAHJ’ IBN wah-HAJ’), and his partner Jany Leveille remained silent as pleas were entered by a judge on their behalf. The charges could carry life sentences in the death of Abdul-ghani Wahhaj (ahb-DOOL’ GAH’-nee wah-HAJ’).

Their pleas came after a judge dismissed child neglect charges filed against them earlier this month. Another judge made the same decision involving three other defendants earlier in the day.

Child neglect charges dismissed, for now, in New Mexico compound raid case

A New Mexico judge dismissed, for now, child neglect charges Wednesday against three defendants arrested at a remote compound in northern New Mexico where 11 children were living in filth and the body of a missing 3-year-old Georgia boy was found, according to media reports.

Judge Emilio Chavez ruled in Taos County that the three defendants could no longer be held because prosecutors missed a 10-day limit for a hearing to establish probable cause for the neglect charges.

Prosecutors, however, could still try to obtain charges by seeking an indictment from a grand jury.​

Judge sentences 4 family members in kidnapping case of Jonesboro toddler to life​

judge on Wednesday sentenced four family members to life in prison for convictions stemming from a federal terrorism and kidnapping case that began in 2017

The fifth defendant — Jany Leveille, a Haitian national — avoided being part of a three-week trial last fall by pleading guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and being in possession of a firearm while unlawfully in the United States. Under the terms of her plea agreement, she had faced up to 17 years in prison.

Judge William Johnson sentenced her to 15 years, noting that Leveille had received treatment for a diagnosis of acute schizophrenia

Leveille addressed the court Wednesday, saying it was her 41st birthday and now that she can think clearly, it sickens her to think about what happened because of her delusions and the voices she was hearing.
