Doesn't make me too comfortable, actually.
Were these crimes the reason he was on the list?

Not sure what crimes you are referring to.

He was wanted in connection with marrying off young girls to older men. Not sure how many counts he has against him.

However, on CNN, I heard that the mothers COULD have stayed with their children, had they gone to the shelter/safe house with them. From what I understood the mothers decided to go back to the compound WITHOUT their children.

GOD BLESS!

Actually, they wanted the women to go to a separate women's shelter (without their children), so the women chose to go home instead. (They were allowed to choose home or the shelter.)

"A group of women from a polygamist sect's Texas ranch returned to the compound Monday after authorities separated them from the 400-plus children now in state custody...mothers of children 5 and older were told they could not remain with the children but could go back to the ranch or to a women's shelter." www.cnn.com
