Women, kids taken from polygamy retreat

ELDORADO, TX

Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marleigh Meisner says 137 children and 46 women are being housed Saturday and interviewed. That's including the 52 girls removed the day before.

The investigation began after a 16-year-old living there complained of physical abuse.

A search warrant authorized troopers to look for evidence of a marriage between the girl and a 50-year-old man. The search warrant said the girl had a baby when she was 15.
