I have been watching this and how the media is sympathizing with the mothers of these children. The way I see it is that they are obviously hiding the fact that 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 year old girls are encouraged to “marry” these older men in the name of their religion. These ladies keep avoiding the questions. It gives me the creeps that in the name of religion children are being sexually abused. The women themselves appear to be brainwashed.

Wow....I thought that Ken’s post about how to stop zombie armies rampaging through the streets was just a joke, and the evening news gives us three zombies made almost to order.
Would it KILL the reporter to, say, NOTICE that these women are showing little to no emotion despite being deprived of their children, and ASK what brought these women to this point?
(instead of doing the crying for them...well, I guess you’ve got surrogate moms, so maybe you can contract out your emotions, too)

If these kids have been basically been arrested because they’ve been abused & impregnated....
If they’ve been taken from their parents because they’re pregnant....
Why aren’t the junior high & high school aged mothers taken from their families?
It’s such a common occurrance in Texas that the schools provide day care for the off-spring & even installed seat belts in the busses to properly install the baby seats.

If the main deal was the men molesting the little girls, why are the little girls “jailed” & not the men?

THere are far too many questions still unanswered.

Zsa Zsa the girls aren’t being encouraged, thay are being forced. They have no choice but to marry the man chosen for them, and worse, they don’t know of any other lifestyle.
RebTex, the children have not been arrested, they have been removed from abusive parents/families, that have systematically raped and brainwashed them. The same would happen if the father had allowed it without the guise of religion to hide behind.
As for why the men haven’t been arested, I have no clue, they should be, and the mothers appear to be in need of a deprogrammer.

In the intrest of honest debate, I’ll wait & see…
But as for the need of a de-programmer, have you noticed how the MSM referrs to this group as “polymamist group” or “polygamist cult” ?
RebTex - 10:04am on 04/16/2008
Anthony, I agree, the word “encouraged” was totally wrong. It is so very apparent that these women have been put through some serious brainwashing. I can only imagine how the children must seem if their mothers allowed them to be raised in this environment.
The BIG question is WHY haven’t the Adults been warned and OR arrested? Are the accusations against this polygamist sect based on facts? Where is the evidence? Will DNA testing be the only way to know for sure? AND without birth certificates how will their ages be confirmed? The women ("mothers") are not talking.

As much as I feel sorry for these women I have to ask are/were they co conspirators to what was allegedly happening there?
And shouldn’t they have a no Liquor Lips sign behind them?

of course they could be victims too…
Time will tell

Not these particular ladies, but another had the biggest unibrow I believe I have ever seen on a woman! I feel sorry for her!
Zsa Zsa - 11:04am on 04/16/2008
I don’t feel the reaction of the mother was sincere. I heard forced emotions coming from her.
As for the reporter? Ohmigawd ... obviously, her bleached hair has taken root in her brain. LOL, shes the one we should feel sorry for, poor thing .. life has to be difficult being that loony.
