( CNN ) -- Children from a polygamist sect who one mother says are `` hurting very badly '' in state custody are likely to be returned to their parents , a CNN legal analyst says . FLDS member Margaret Jessop says her children `` feel betrayed by adults . '' A Texas appeals court ruled Thursday that the state had no right to remove hundreds of children from the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints ' ranch in Eldorado on April 3 , based on the suspicion that a few were being sexually abused . A sect mother who has four children in state custody said the matter has not been fully resolved because an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court is possible . `` I 'm very grateful , but I 'd like to see the children in my arms before I rejoice greatly , '' Margaret Jessop said on CNN 's `` Larry King Live . '' Watch Jessop react to the ruling » . But a permanent reunion of families is likely , said Jeffrey Toobin , CNN senior legal analyst . `` Based on this ruling I think it 's clear that if it stands , all these kids are going back with their mothers , '' Toobin said on CNN 's `` Anderson Cooper 360° . '' Jessop and other FLDS parents said they had been permitted visits with their children in foster care . Zavenda Young said two of her children were sent to Waco , Texas , and two to Hockley , 148 miles away . `` They 're in Boys and Girls Country in Hockley . And it 's just a -- it 's an institution , '' she told host Larry King . Their father , Edson Jessop , said the experience has been rough on the children . `` You can see it 's a lot of stress on them , '' he said . `` Every time we leave , they go through that trauma again . It 's enough to rip your heart out . '' `` They feel betrayed by adults , and they 're hurting very badly , '' Margaret Jessop added . The Texas Child Protective Services Department 's Web site says the agency has been `` coordinating with many professional service and government agencies to ensure the safety , health and comfort of the children and women in Eldorado . '' A statement from the agency Thursday said it 's working out a response to the court ruling . `` Child Protective Services has one duty -- to protect children , '' the statement said . `` When we see evidence that children have been sexually abused and remain at risk of further abuse , we will act . ... We will work with the office of the attorney general to determine the state 's next step in this case . ''
