Ask any professional dealing in battered children regarding the future mental health of the children reared as chattel.

I don't know about "color-coding," but the dress code itself is very strict in the Hilldale-Colorado City group. Men: Shirts buttoned to the top. Sleeves rolled down and buttoned. Women: Skirts to mid-calf or longer, sleeves below the elbow (presumably to keep them out of food and dishwater), collars to neck. No cutting of hair, no hair flowing loose. Babies are dressed according to the rules for adults.
Corr: Forgot the stockings. opaque stockings on women and girls. The girls will wear the opaque stockings with white sports socks over them, and wear sports shoes. Hilldale-Colorado City is in the desert. Daytime temps in the summer go well over 100 degrees F. But the dress codes are never violated, no matter what the temperature.
I assume they wear the original Mormon garments.
There is so much intimidation going on normal welfare type investigations will not do anything. It has to be Police with undercover informants like it was in this case.
The only way for it to work would be if the investigating agency was separate from the welfare distributing agency.
