If it is found that girls are turned over to men at puberty to, "marry" the men, "have sex" with the men, and have babies then to me it is point blank pedophilia, sexual abuse, and rape.
If it is found that babies are water boarded from infancy to learn to remain submissive and to be taught not to cry, then that is point blank physical abuse.
I think that the FLDS is not a religion, but a dangerous cult started by pedophiles with a pathological need to control people, and that they do it all in the false name of religion.
The devil can quote the bible for his own evil works. I think the leaders of the FLDS are quoting the bible to have power over others, act out on their pedophilia, and do whatever other disgraceful things that we don't yet know about.
There are some foster homes in Texas and other states where sexual, physical, and emotional abuse occur. I agree. But, that is not the case with most foster homes. Many children have a chance in the foster care system. I believe there is a 100% chance that any child raised within the FLDS compound will suffer at least one type of abuse. Some may never heal.
