The "Sixteen year old girl." A hoax???
I am SPITTING mad. Texas authorities better have those children back in their mothers arms by tonight.
"A 33-year-old Colorado Springs woman has been questioned about a telephone call that sparked a raid at the polygamist Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound in western Texas two weeks ago.
Rozita Swinton was arrested at her home Wednesday night by Colorado Springs police for an incident that occurred in February. Members of the Texas Rangers were also in Colorado Springs as part of their investigation.
"The Texas Rangers were in Colorado Springs (Wednesday) as part of their investigation involving the compound in Texas. They left and have not filed any charges on Rozita Swinton as of this time," said Colorado Springs police spokesman Lt. Skip Arms.
Colorado Springs police said the arrest warrant has been sealed and refused to release any other details, reported Deseret News."

I like to keep it honest. Even if it paints me in an unfavorable light.
Dollars to doughnuts the FLDS kids don't have all their shots ~
It's considered quite abusive to deny medical treatment to children.
That's why we love you!
These FLDS people seem to think they are invisible!
What victims are being persecuting?
Yup, "fishing expedition", shur nuff.
My Grandmother and Father married in 1914—It was in Wyoming and things were behind the times.
You might check into what you can do to rat out the perverts at PP though. Get your hand in.
Bullsh**. Those 'witnesses' only got their 'visual' evidence as the result of a warrant based on lies.
This entire case is going to get tossed and the citizens of Texas are going to pay through the nose for it.

We still do believe that it applies to everyone, including women and children, not just incestuous, old, child raping and beating, perverts who enjoy the rights they deny to their slaves followers.
Do you believe that any citizen has the right to deny another citizen their Constitutional rights?
I assumed that, my mother married at a young age, but it is no longer those times. I would be for not letting anyone get married until 21, but that will never happen.
“Pray tell — just how persecuting the victims of this gang of miscreants is the right way to prosecute the perverts and child molesters?”
The practice that the female children are being rescued from is child rape, the boy situation is more complicated.
The rapes are part of the cults beliefs so the children and the adults have to be separated while this is dealt with.
The children are being rescued, which adults will face punishment, and what those punishments will be is yet unknown. The leader so far has received two five year to life sentences for conducting these “marriages” but he still faces more charges, one of the husbands only received 45 days jail and three years probation for accepting a “marriage”, we will have to see what this group faces.
No one has taken them on as strongly as this, this time they have left their “safety” zone states with large Mormon populations, and they are facing Texans now.
“This entire case is going to get tossed and the citizens of Texas are going to pay through the nose for it.”
Before the weekend is over, you will be eating ‘crow’, so to speak.
Some of the info is already out, today on the news.
Watch for it!
I’m just trying to point out that you said NO ONE ESCAPES, then went on to describe a woman who did ESCAPE, and that she was helping other young women who ESCAPED.
Or do I owe you an apology?
....may grow up and be a producer instead of a drone.
Very true.
Why I ask is that the regular Mormons don't seem to have trouble with doctors and medicines. The old time Apostolic Charismatic Church of the First Born (also known as Faith Assembly) has a big problem ~ they reject doctors and medicines and let their kids die. When that happens they bury them in unmarked graves.
We've got prosecutors all over America watching for that behavior because, it turns out, it's against the law everywhere! Numbers of parents who let their kids die and then violated laws concerning disposal of human remains have been prosecuted and have been or are being punished.
Which leads me to a question ~ are you into the COTFB/Faith Assembly sort of folk religion, or the FLDS? Or, are you affiliated with yet another group I might not be familiar with?
Now just what kind of spiritual lesson is this old coot going to teach these girls.
My point was,,,,,
These women can’t just walk out and go to a women’s shelter. You don’t find escapees in women’s shelters. They go to safe houses instead, that are run and operated by women like Flora Jessop.
Ex-cult members are prepared to help ease these fLDS into the culture and are better equipped for their special needs. Escapes like these are well planned out, secretive and dangerous and involve help from outsiders who are knowledgeable specifically about the polygamist cult and its workings, how to get inside then back out again.
So this Rozita character would not likely have met Sarah in a women’s shelter. Rozita and Sarah would never likely cross paths.
I guess we were speaking past each other.
“I guess we were speaking past each other.”
Don’t let it concern you too much. Happens all the time.
Or that Swinton read the story of Sarah and Dale Barlow, back when it happened and he was jailed?
I’m just saying that Swinton has details which she didn’t just make up out of the blue.
