Temporary fate of children in Granby-area compound to be determined in hearings

A decision on what will be done with children who were taken from the Grandview Valley Baptist Church North compound near Granby will be decided during hearings this week, Neosho Daily News Associate Editor John Ford reported today in the latest installment of the story that has shocked Newton and McDonald counties:

Juvenile hearings will be held next week in Selby's courtroom to determine custody of the children currently in temporary protective custody. Authorities are trying to determine if parents were involved in the alleged abuse, or knew of it.


The article also goes into more information concerning the investigation into the church's pastor, George Otis Johnston, who turned himself in Friday and was released after posting $100,000 bond.
