Posted: 12:44 PM- The last of the children taken from the FLDS compound in Texas have been moved from the San Angelo Coliseum to temporary foster homes.

A spokesman for the Texas Child Protective Services said 462 children were taken into custody -- up from the 437 figure given earlier -- since an April 3 raid on group's YFZ Ranch in Eldorado.

The agency said the change was made because 25 females who had identified themselves as adults are actually under 18, he said.

Rod Parker, an attorney for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, disputed that claim.
