The newspaper was unable to independently confirm that children were being brought into the refuge, but if true, it raises a particularly ominous element to any standoff scenario. Janet Reno's ATF, FBI, and other federal agencies justified the storming of the Waco compound, where David Koresh was holed up with Branch Davidian members, by citing allegations of child abuse. (According to ABC News, 46 children were inside the complex at the time of the raid; however, scholarly research indicates the allegations have not been proved conclusively.)
