Quite an informative article here. Maybe there’s a thread on it.

WOW - This from the link: "We are aware that this group is capable of" sexually abusing girls, Sheriff David Doran said. "But there again, this is the United States. We are going to respect them. We're not going to violate their civil rights until we get an outcry. Doran said it was not until after the raid began that he learned that the sect was, in fact, marrying off underage girls at the compound and had a bed in its soaring limestone temple where the girls were required to immediately consummate their marriages."

Sick doesn't begin to describe this...evil I tell ya.

If the Texas authorities had an informant inside the FLDS cult for four years, they should have acted more quickly. Civil rights? What about the civil rights of the 416 children? (most of them girls because they threw the boys out - gotta eliminate the competition you know).
