Polygamist parents, children reunited.

More than 400 children taken from a polygamist sect's ranch two months ago began returning to the arms of their tearful parents Monday, hours after a judge bowed to a state Supreme Court ruling that the seizure was not justified.

"It's just great day," said Nancy Dockstader, whose chin quivered and eyes filled with tears as she embraced her 9-year-old daughter, Amy, outside a foster-care center in Gonzales, about 65 miles east of San Antonio. "We're so grateful."

Amid the reunions, an elder in the polygamist group said church policy going forward will be to forbid any girl to marry who is not old enough to legally consent in the state where she lives.

Hmmmmm....I can't help but think the state of Texas simply gave in because it's lazy and the case is too big, rather then because it was the right thing to do. What do you guys think?
