Six-year-old Samuel Jeffs has only one leg.

Leave him with the cultists and he'll have six wives and nine kids within a year.

Not to mention a massive account of "bleeding the beast" IE welfare fraud.

That was like reading a book.

But well worth it.

Thanks for posting the article.

The book “Escape” by Carolyn Jessop is very informative about the FLDS and the relationships of the wives, husband and children. It’s so bizarre, brutal and controlled that you need to read it if you can get the book.

It is a fast read. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. My copy of the book is being borrowed by my friends. Once everyone reads it, we plan to discuss it.

Why does the boy have one leg? Why, one legged boys are as common as flies out in the normal world where incest is not a common practice. There’s one on every corner among those evil Gentiles!

(I am trying to be an FLDS apologist, apparently that is to be preferred over the idea that the FLDS are run by a bunch of sickos who follow Jeffs and in turn Joseph Smith).

The subject article, assuming its accuracy, confirms what I tend to believe. Every child of the FLDS may not be subjected to abuse today. If it is true that Warren Jeffs has treated some with cruelty (and not been "called on the carpet" by the men and women of the sect), then they are suspect, also.

"Imminent danger" indicates the immediate threat of physical harm, as I've read in the Texas statutes. Ongoing mental abuse apparently doesn't present sufficient danger.

IMHO, these children need to be freed from this harmful environment. Can the women be deprogrammed? I shake my head in sadness for the kids' bizarre upbringings.

What next for the polygamists?

Broadway!

MSNBC is doing a program on the FLDS now.
