It is now believed by the authorities that the call claiming sexual abuse is a hoax. Though the authorities have removed over 400 children from their families, they have yet to speak to this supposed caller.
If that is troubling, consider this.
Salt Lake Tribune: As Texas authorities massed at a polygamous sect's ranch in west Texas, authorities in Arizona received information about a similar situation involving a teen in Colorado City, Ariz. Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said Flora Jessop of the Child Protection Project in Phoenix contacted a member of his staff about a young girl who needed help. The call, made on April 4, was turned over to Arizona Child Protective Services but they received "very imprecise" information about where the girl lived and what her situation was, Goddard said.
Jessop, who is a former member of the FLDS sect, declined to talk to a reporter Saturday night.
