Polygamy kids can go home

A new twist in one of the nation's largest child custody cases --- this time, a victory for members of a Texas polygamist sect.

The Texas Supreme Court has ruled that the state overstepped its authority last month when it removed 460 children from a polygamist ranch run by jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs.

The decision could pave the way for the children to be reunited with their parents.

The Supreme Court's ruling upholds the lower court's finding last week - that Texas authorities went too far...in taking the children from their families without proving that they faced imminent danger.
