The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (April 29, 2011) that the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled yesterday that a judge in a lower court was right to terminate the parental rights of seven people whose children were seized from the compound of evangelist Tone Alamo in 2008.
A state agency seized the children after it was alleged that some were being abused at Alamo's complex in southwestern Arkansas. Alamo was eventually convicted in federal court and sentenced to prison.
The Supreme Court, in effect, rejected arguments that the judge in the lower court violated the parents' religious freedom.
The justices said the children could have been at risk if they had remained in the compound.
