Under guard, polygamist teen goes into labor

SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) -- One of the hundreds of young polygamist-sect members taken into custody by the state was giving birth Tuesday while child welfare officials, state troopers and fellow sect members stood watch outside the maternity ward.
The teenager was admitted to the Central Texas Medical Center and was in labor, said Rod Parker, a spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a renegade Mormon sect. He contends she is 18, but state officials have the girl on a list of minors taken into state custody.

Even though she is a minor, (I am siding with the state on this one), will they let her keep the baby?

In this case, they might not. With the cases of abuse and all, the state might find that the mother & the environment is unfit.
