TYLER - Leaders of an alleged polygamist group - known to discourage contact from outsiders - are using 21st technology to take their case right to the public.

They've launched two websites, with a couple of goals in mind.

The first is to break people's hearts by showing children torn from their families. The other purpose? Well, for you to donate towards their cause.

State officials said this is just the church's latest move to manipulate you.

Sites like www.captivefldschildren.org - shows images and videos of children crying as they are pulled away from their mothers.

Beginning next week through early June, individual court hearings for each mother will get underway.
