FLDS Members Fight Report

 Members of the FLDS Church who were declared abusive or neglectful parents by the state are fighting the label.

So far, 28 individuals have asked for an administrative review of Texas Child Protective Services' findings, the agency told the Deseret News. It came after letters were sent out over the past several months, identifying individuals in 91 cases as perpetrators of child abuse or neglect.

"Reviews are in the process of being conducted," agency spokesman Patrick Crimmins said in an e-mail to the Deseret News on Wednesday.

CPS said the reviews will be conducted by outside investigators who were not involved in the initial process.
