We are 15 days into this and you are demanding that I post the evidence that is only now being collected and investigated, the state has not even identified the people yet.

Yes there is that. Of course in a civilized country one presumes that after four years of investigation that the state would have already identified the people.

Since these people were each handpicked for this compound by Warren Jeffs because they were the most fiercely loyal and unlikely to betray the cult, and since many of the children were shipped in from other branches and Canada with no identification or records, or parents, the process will take some time.

Warren Jeffs is in jail. He wasn't at the Texas FLDS compound. I'm not sure why you keep fixating on someone that wasn't there. But it does explain why you are so eager to crucify these folks based on a prank call from someone that wasn't there either.

t is a nest of snakes that will take some unravelling, but at least the children are safe for now.

Safe from whom?

What does it mean that Jeff's photo was in every room? If you know why, please tell us.

Washington Post:

"ELDORADO, Texas - The secretive and insular community established near this West Texas town by a radical offshoot of the Mormon Church is considered by the sect's members to be a holy shrine populated by its most fervent adherents and is propped up financially by members of the group living in other states, according to law enforcement officials and former members.

Interviews with law enforcement authorities and former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints depict the Yearning for Zion Ranch, which was raided last week by Texas authorities, as an outpost whose adult residents were considered the sect's elite. They were handpicked by the church's leader, Warren Jeffs, who was convicted last year in Utah of being an accomplice to rape for arranging the marriage of a 14-year-old girl to her cousin.

Jeffs dubbed those chosen for the ranch as the "elect" or "heart's core," selected to live in the "holy land," as he called the compound. The adults were his most loyal followers and the young children were the least "contaminated" by the outside world, former church members say. According to court documents, adherents living at the ranch practiced the most extreme tenets of FLDS doctrine, including forcing girls as young as 13 to "spiritually marry" older men for the purpose of bearing their children.
