In the News: Court: Texax polygamists take back children

In the court ruling today, the state of Texas should not have removed the more than 460 children it took from a polygamist sect's ranch. In its ruling, the Texas 3rd District Court of Appeals decided in favor of 38 women who had appealed the removals, as well as a decision last month by a district judge that the children will remain in state custody.

It concluded, "Evidence that children raised in this particular environment may some day have their physical health and safety threatened is not evidence that the danger is imminent enough to warrant invoking the extreme measure of immediate removal prior to full litigation of the issue."

In the article, there are couple words not new but should be reviewed:

polygamy - 一夫多妻
Imminent - 即将来临的
Invoke - 引起
