Cult kids arrive in Houston area

Houston Chronicle:

Children from the sect have arrived near Hockley in northwest Harris County and 37 others have arrived at a foster care facility near Liverpool in Brazoria County.

Two white buses arrived at the Boys and Girls Country facililty near Hockley, escorted by a state Department of Public Safety car and an ambulance. The buses pulled in and went around the back of the facility. It could not be determined how many children were in the buses.

The trip from San Angelo to Kidz Harbor in Brazoria County took extra time Friday because the bus had to stop several times to ease children's motion sickness.

"Some of them probably haven't even ridden in a vehicle before," DPS Trooper Dial King said.

Troopers, volunteers and staff of the children's home near Liverpool were awaiting the arrival of the children.

Volunteer Bruce Colbert said the children would be left separate from the 29 other children at the home and would be allowed to practice any religious practices they wanted to do.

He said a volunteer donated a piano because, "we were told they liked to gather around and sing."

The home will try to provide them whole grains, fresh vegetables and low beef and pork diet the children are used to.

He said that the children will not go to public school, but will be educated on site by the Alvin Independent School District.

I found the best way to prevent motion sickness is to get their eyes focused on something outside the vehicle. If they are old enough, they can spot out of state license plates are count cows and horses. If the eye can focus on something that is relatively stable in the distance it reduces the sensation of motion.

It sounds like the state is taking very good care of these kids and was prepared for any mishaps. Hopefully they can detox in their new environment and discuss what they have been through.
