Holy cow! I can’t believe how this topic has brought out the name calling on this thread! I think it’s important to remember there are two groups of people in this compound who deserve our sympathies and prayers. First, the brainwashed women and second the innocent children. Whether the abuse took place or not, children have been pulled from their mothers. Whether you believe the mothers were “in the know”, “brainwashed, or “innocent”, there are children suffering tonight because they miss their mothers. I can’t imagine the confusion and pain they must be feeling.
I give total sympathy to the children - both the little girls who were raped by the men (so sorry - "married"), and to the young boys who were thrown into the streets as soon as they reached puberty because they were competition to the 50+ year old fat pigs.
The mothers are "brainwashed" as you called it, but so are all cult members. That doesn't give adults an excuse for the evil that participate in. God (the real one) holds us all accountable.
These women allowed their children to be abused by men. Are the men more guilty in my view? Yes, because it is documented that these pigs would use child abuse as an evil tool to control the women, but - if you watch the news interviews - these women are defending this evil with every fiber of their being.
So far, this woman who left the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saint cult is one of the few heroines in all of this mess.
Watch the interview video.
