Women inside Fort Concho complained over the weekend of cramped conditions at the temporary shelter. The state plans to ask a court Thursday for custody of the children. At a preliminary hearing, a lawyer told a judge "there is a systematic process at the ranch near Eldorado at which children were exploited and sexually abused."
