Former FLDS cult member horrifically mobbed by hundreds of sect followers while picking up children after gaining full custody

After finally gaining full custody of her children last week, former Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints (FLDS) cult member was harassed by the sect's followers and prevented from picking her children up. After a seven-hour standoff the police finally intervened.

However, she was physically prevented from getting near them by hundreds of FLDS' followers "hell bent" to keep the children in the organization, reported by the Daily Mail.

"Lots of members from the community started showing up. They surrounded her vehicle, the home, fences and the yard. They were kicking the van. They even tried to put a cow and chickens into her vehicle," said Flora Jessop in an interview with KSL-TV.

Jessop is also an ex-member who has been helping Tetzner throughout the court battle. A footage taken via cellphone shows how Tetzner's van had been surrounded by the cult members.

Because of fear, Teztner did not leave the van and decided to call the police to rescue her children; about 600 members surrounded her until the following morning. The sheriff's deputies had to issue a search warrant to get the children out of their aunt's house and reunited with their mother. They escorted them to their home in northern Utah and reported that the members followed them all the way there.

Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is one of the largest fundamentalist Mormon sects which is still led by Warren Jeffs, even behind bars. It is also considered one of the largest groups in the United States whose members practice polygamy. Tetzner left the sect a year after Jeffs was convicted and jailed for his arrangement of illegal marriages among young girls and adult male followers.
