TX is unable to link more than 100 FLDS (polygamist) kids with mothers.

Why would the mothers not be identifying their own children? Were dozens of children at the ranch without any biological parent?

No wonder the state decided to do DNA tests on all the children, and anyone claiming to be a parent.

First, these families are comprised of at least 168 mothers and 69 fathers, reflecting the polygamy in the renegade Mormon sect.

And even as the hearings begin, the state hasn't matched more than 100 of the children with mothers. The first of court-ordered DNA test results won't be back for two to four weeks.
