ANDERSON COOPER 360 DEGREES
COOPER: Blood atonement?

KRAKAUER: Blood atonement, it's called. It was most prevalent in Utah in the mid-19th century, in the 1850s, 1860s, when Utah was at war with the country. And the Mormon church believed at that time, and the fundamentalists believe today, that some crime, some sins were so great, they had to be atoned by spilling the sinner's blood on the ground. And so -- and if you kill someone who deserves to be blood atoned, if you blood atone them, as they say, then that's no crime.

and

MARK SHURTLEFF, UTAH ATTORNEY GENERAL: They hate the government. They will bleed it. They will take everything they can from it through welfare, through tax evasion and fraud.

and

(On camera): Here's how it works, the men have multiple wives, but only one marriage is recognized as legal by the state of Utah. So the rest of the wives claim to be single moms, struggling to raise a houseful of dependents. That makes them eligible for government aid. So they collect welfare -- lots of it. And it's all legal.

SHURTLEFF: More than 65 percent of the people are on welfare, they're on food stamps, compared to about 6 percent in the general populations.

Elaine Jeffs on 360….

It’s really a closed, secret society in America. We have been trying to understand the life inside the sect for months now.

Our next two guests know what it’s like up close. Elaine Jeffs is Warren Jeffs’ sister. She grew up in the sect with her brother. She — she left. She was 41 years old when she escaped, finally kidnapped some of her kids.

Filmmaker Laurie Allen grew up in a different sect. She, too, broke away, and made a documentary about polygamy called “Banking on Heaven.”

""Bountiful women are treated like "sexual collectibles." They are frequently traded across the Canada-US border to suit the needs of the men in either country."Another women's rights insult, the "Law of Chastity", prohibits women to have intercourse other than when they are ovulating. This leads to complex mating charts for the more spousally affluent husbands."

"Since the celestial wives of Bountiful are not legally married by the government, they all register as single mothers and receive the child tax credit. Moreover, American girls shipped to Canada apply to immigrate here based on Section 25(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Act which allows females who give birth here to become permanent residents. Then they are eligible for health care, daycare subsidies, welfare, Canada Pension, Old Age pension, Canada child tax benefit and the BC family bonus."

This abuse of the women trickles down to the children in a very predictable way.
To the men of FLDS and the outside world, the women of FLDS appear very docile and controlled. But when the women are alone with the children, it is common for one woman to brutalize the children of a rival wife. This is done to exact payback for a punishment or humiliation suffered at the hands of a man who was instigated by the rival wife. The innocent children then have no way of knowing when they will be punished, nor will they have any warning. This is emotional abuse, and we know that this form of abuse has long-term effects.
 
Welcome to Captive FLDS Children​

This site was created by the FLDS people to help the innocent
children that were living at the YFZ Ranch in Eldorado, Texas.

I find "created by the FLDS people" strange.
When we know the females (not "people"?)
aren't allowed on the internet in the first place! :rolleyes:

anyway, it has pics and videos, etc.
It's their side of the story.
 
At least three children taken from a polygamous sect's ranch are in the hospital and attorneys for their mothers say they have received little or no information about their conditions.
Attorneys for Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA) are working to identify the children, the hospitals, and to arrange for their mothers to visit the children.
"We can't seem to get anyone on the phone with authority to make that happen and the mothers don't even know the seriousness of the situation," said Amanda Chisholm, a TRLA attorney.
The legal aid society, which represents 48 mothers, said one 2-year-old child lost a severe amount of weight while staying at the San Angelo Coliseum.
TRLA said the organization was told two days ago that the child was in shock and lethargic, but has received no new information since then about where the child is or regarding her current health situation.

SAN ANGELO, Texas -- Here's what's known about Dr. Lloyd H. Barlow:

-- He's licensed to practice medicine in Utah, in Arizona and -- since June 2005 -- in Texas.

-- He has no disciplinary actions against him in the states in which he's licensed to practice.

-- He operates a medical clinic at the YFZ Ranch of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the polygamist compound raided by Texas authorities beginning April 3.

------------
A physician has a heightened duty to report suspected child abuse under Texas law, he said. Professionals must report it to authorities within 48 hours.

Anyone who suspects but doesn't report child abuse can be held liable for a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000, according to the Department of Family and Protective Services.

A total of 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 are in state custody after a raid 3 1/2 weeks ago at the Yearning For Zion Ranch in Eldorado. Of those girls, 31 either have children or are pregnant, said Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar. He didn't specify how many are pregnant.
..............

Of those 463 children, 250 are girls and 213 are boys. Children 13 and younger are about evenly split — 197 girls and 196 boys — but there are only 17 boys aged 14 to 17 compared with the 53 girls in that age range.
 
An army of lawyers and case workers are working to sort out the legal and social services issues in the case of the removal of hundreds of children from the Eldorado polygamist sect ranch.

Reporters Mary Flood and Terri Langford consulted experts to get answers to some questions in this case.

Merrill Jessop is in charge of YFZ Ranch, from which CPS removed the children. Allegedly his wives reside there with him.

From ESCAPE by Carolyn Jessop

http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/02/children-of-polygamy-broken-bones-broken-spirits/
Wendell, Cathleen's son, who was not quite two, was asleep in his crib. He was cranky and fussy after he woke up. Merril told Barbara to take Wendell into the next room and discipline him. Barbara took Wendell into the room where she had beaten Patrick and let him have it. When Barbara beat a baby she would typically spank him until he was blue in the face from screaming. Then she would stop, order the baby to stop screaming, and start beating him again when the hysterical child continued to scream. Eventually the baby would collapse from exhaustion when he was too weak to cry. Wendell's pitiful screams went on into the night.
