oTexas Department of Family and Protective Services continued the raid at the isolated ranch of the polygamist group and announced that they had removed 183 people on Saturday; 137 of them were children.

However, they still didn’t find the 16-year-old girl who was allegedly sexually abused. Her abuse report started the whole series of raids at the West Texas compound operated by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The law enforcement operated a roadblock a few miles away from the YFZ Ranch temple, where the leaders of the religious group refused to grant access to authorities.

Medical staff was sent to the compound “in case this were to a go in a way that no one wants” said Tom Green County prosecutor Allison Palmer according to the San Angelo Standard-Times.

Authorities are currently trying to reach an agreement with the leaders of the sect, but if the agreement isn’t reached they will forcibly remove the sect's followers "as peaceably as possible".

"Things have been a little tense, a little volatile," Palmer said Saturday.

Numerous ambulances and law-enforcement vehicles left the ranch Saturday. A bus carrying women went Sunday at a civic center. There the women were interviewed by a lawyer and law-enforcement officials.

The investigation into the safety of the children living at the ranch was initiated after Child Protective Services were notified by someone that a 16-year-old girl had suffered physical abuse.

Investigators were searching for a 16-year-old girl who allegedly gave birth to a child after marrying to a 50-year-old man, The San Antonio Times said. The girl hasn’t been found yet and authorities are currently searching for her 50-year-old husband Dale Barlow.

The Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) bought approximately 1,900 acres near Eldorado about four years ago. There they build the ranch and called it the YFZ Ranch. About 400 members of the church were relocated from their Arizona and Utah compounds to the YFZ Ranch.

Since 2002, when his father died, the community has been led by Warren Jeffs. It’s one of the several religious groups which spread from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after the Mormon Church renounced polygamy in 1890.

Jeffs, the 52-year-old leader and "prophet" of the 10,000-member church, was later convicted for involvement in the rape of a 14-year-old girl in 2001, the year when she wed her cousin in an arranged marriage. In Utah, he was sentenced for to two consecutive sentences of five years to life in prison.

In Arizona, Jeffs also faces charges as an accomplice of incest and sexual conduct with a minor stemming from two arranged marriages similar to that above mentioned. He is now behind bars the Mohave County Jail in Kingman, Ariz., awaiting trial.
