Thanks! From that link there was this about the separation of the women who returned to the compound.From the DFPS (CPS) website: "With the judges permission DFPS moved about two dozen teenage boys to a facility outside the area. All the rest of the children are at the coliseum."

"Adult women with very young children were provided the opportunity to remain at the shelter at this time. The other women were given the choice to return to the Eldorado compound or to a safe place. While DFPS understands mothers want to be with their children, normal protocol is to separate children from their parents during investigations into abuse and neglect.
This decision was not made by CPS alone. DFPS sought counsel from the attorneys of the children, mental health professionals and others. The judge concurred that a partial separation is in the best interest of the children at this time.
