Anyone out there who maybe surprised that the State of Texas is dismissing the importance of "Sarah" is woefully ignorant with regards to the workings of government agencies. Like pool chalk planted on an alleged crack dealer, this was an extraordinarily forseeable occurence.
This was a pretext from the beginning--a false reason for raiding a religious sect. As such it is a gross violation of the 4th amendment rights of citizens of these United States.

Mysterious Sarah may be unnecessary in Texas bid to keep FLDS children

SAN ANGELO, Texas — The pleas of Sarah, the mystery polygamist child bride who told authorities she was battered and sexually abused, was the key that unlocked the doors of the sprawling YFZ Ranch in Eldorado.
But according to state child protection officials, she won't have to walk through the courtroom doors Thursday for the state to prove its case of widespread child abuse at the Fundamentalist LDS Church compound.
"I think some people have really focused on that (Sarah) but the reality is that her phone call is the reason we went out there, but it was not the reason for the removals," said Greg Cunningham, spokesman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
