Religious freedom or sexual abuse?
Based on evidence in a recently released report, The Tribune's editorial board comes out in support of the state of Texas' raid on the FLDS compound in Eldorado:Any community that arranges marriages of girls as young as 12 to much older men, encourages these young women to conceive children when they are still minors and uses religious dogma and threats of ostracism to keep them in line is inherently abusive. If parents condone and participate in these practices, they are abusers, as the state alleges.The Texas state report found:
12 girls are confirmed victims of sexual abuse and neglect because they were married at ages ranging from 12 to 15.FLDS leaders, all men, many of whom took underage brides, say the raid was an illegal "fishing expedition" that traumatized children and parents and defiled the sect's temple simply to drive their religion out of Texas.
43 girls — one in four pubescent girls on the ranch — were in an underage marriage.
91 FLDS families of 146 investigated were involved in sexual abuse or neglect.

Don't mess with Texas, y'all.
It's about time somebody did something about these welfare-cheating preverts.
the editorial board of the SLTrib has got serious research deficiencies if they can accept the CPS report as factual. Their own reporters were among the first to uncover a FEW of the many lies told to the public by CPS from the beginning of this whole thing. Methinks they just want to believe it so they can continue to sell newspapers with headlines based on "Child Sex Abuse". Follow the money.
Mormonism is insane. How can the LD$ spend money fighting to take marriage away from same sex couples and do nothing about situations like this? Twelve year olds getting married… Is it any wonder people look at mormons like they're from Mars?
Also, look at those outfits. No person in her right mind would consent, of her own free will, to wear that stuff.
don`t mess with Texas, because it is already a mess, and you might catch the disease.
i would be fine with the FLDS`s life style if there wasn`t abuse, but in a lot of the comminities there probably is. one thing about the F`s, they are not near as hypocritcal as the LDS, they are what they are, their cultish religious zealotry is not any worse then the pefection and prozac society, of this hypocritical intollerant cult, mostly in Happy
Valley and Wash. county!!
You people who defend these sexual predators called polygamists, especially those who refuse(2nd commenter) who refuses to believe fact unless they can have one of their wives conduct a survey first,please move to Anartica where you can no longer pollute our genepool.
