Family members that live outside the compounds are allowed to come to funerals of adults.
There is a lot of half brothers and sisters and cousins etc. So a lot of them have the same last name. One dad, up to as many as 5 or 6 moms. And the first wives are said to control the younger wives by being abusive to their children. Affection is not encouraged at all and some say they even try to keep baby's from crying. They are taught to be emotionless.
And Warren Jeffs stated in an interview from prison that he is not a prophet of God and he is sorry that he sinned and asked forgiveness.

The removal of some of the children might be a big problem for the state.
I just don't know if the state had any other way to know if there was real abuse without removing most of them.
