I’ve noticed that the news reports are coming out about various allegations against the FLDS sect in Texas--lurid allegations like sacrifice of young boys, sexual abuse of young boys, and more.  Fox News has a little blurb about a documentary by one Kelly Hefner (no apparent relation to Hugh, if you’re curious) that makes these claims, and backs them up with the apparent testimony of former members.

Yes, I’ll point out again and again that polygamous societies are inherently abusive, but I’ll also admit that even I am surprised by the reports.  Whether the lurid allegations are true or not, the fact that all of them seem to be coming out now would seem to cast some doubt on my thought that the authorities are keeping some evidence close to the vest until the investigation is done.

If they are, it could get even uglier--especially if a lot of it gets thrown out because of sloppy warrants.  Yikes, and how sad for all involved.
