Mothers are mounting a campaign to get back their children, who were taken by the state after a raid on the compound. The mothers say the conditions at the state shelter are so cramped that the children are scared and many are sick. At least a dozen children have contracted chicken pox. Dr. Stephen Smith has been providing medical care at the state shelter, and he says he is upset by what he has seen there. “All of the mothers and children that I spoke with wanted to go back to the ranch, without a doubt,” Smith told ABC News. “Personally, it makes me very sad for what we have done.”
