There are some possibilities. It's still early days, and family may be coming forward and the basic home investigations being done. And it may be that family is included in the description "foster care". Right now, it sounds as if they are all living in the Colosseum, but not together.

CPS spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner said the department will move fast to place the children in foster homes or in customized arrangements as recommended by a psychiatrist who told the judge traditional foster care would be "destructive." She added that children will be placed with relatives only if appropriate.

It's heartwrenching.

Earlier Friday, psychiatrist Bruce Perry of Texas testified for the state, saying the FLDS culture is dangerous to children because teenage girls are not emotionally mature enough for marriage.
The other children, he said, are at risk because their brain development could be impeded by an authoritarian atmosphere that discourages independent thinking.
Perry said there are many healthy aspects to the FLDS culture, but still recommended continued state custody. "This is just a lose-lose deal. There is no great way to make this come out."
