A woman from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) walks out with her child as they leave the Kidz Harbor facility shortly after reuniting with their children in Liverpool, Texas on June 3, 2008. More than 400 children, taken from the polygamist sect's ranch two months ago, began returning to their parents after a judge bowed to a state Supreme Court ruling that the state seizure was not justified.
