(CNN) -- Removing 460 children from a polygamist sect compound and then reuniting them with their families will cost Texas $7 million, according to the state Department of Family and Protective Services.

The children were ordered returned to their families this week after the Texas Supreme Court found that the state did not have enough evidence to show that abuse was happening at the Yearning for Zion ranch near Eldorado.

The price tag includes costs from fighting a court battle to retain custody of the children, attempting to determine their parentage through DNA testing and reuniting the children with their parents.

The $7 million does not include more than $500,000 in estimated costs incurred by local governments whose law enforcement agencies were involved in the April 3 ranch raid, according to a budgetary presentation given to Texas lawmakers last month.

Ohh look they saved some money, if the Courts had not ordered them returned the tag was supposed to be 30 million.

7 million because a bunch of gestapo types thought they could just ignore the law. That first Judge should be disbarred and CPS should be auditted and the head of it FIRED.

We're in trouble because hysteric liberals think they have the right and authority to throw people in jail just because they don't "approve" of their lifestyles.

While at the same time, if anyone questions any of the lifestyles they promote, it's labeled "racism" and "homophobia" and considered a hate crime, and THOSE people are thrown in jail as well.

Better hope Obomba doesn't grab the presidency.

Hysteric Liberals??? lol. On what basis do you make this assumption and generalization? You do realize Texas is a red state, and a key Bush supporting state---who you all blame of being a neoconservative correct?
