Apparently this is off of Nancy Grace tonight:
SUSAN ROESGEN: Got to say something about the toys. We’ve been told by a Warren Jeffs biographer, people who’ve studied his patterns and his rules there that he doesn’t like toys, that he outlawed toys, that the only kind of toys he would let the kids have would be trampolines, and we know for a fact, Nancy, that when those children were taken here to the coliseum behind me, the volunteers who came to help the children and make them feel at home showed them crayons and the kids didn’t even know what a crayon was.

What is this guy, the Bergermeister Meisterberger? (Obscure reference from Santa Claus is Coming to Town.....)
Oh, sad....
You know, kids can play, and do very well without actual toys.......but crayons seem *ahem* elementary....
Kids have too many toys today. They expect to be entertained. We used to find our own. A barrel to walk, trees to climb, mowed grass to build stuff with...This is a none issue as for as I’m concerned. I know it wasn’t funny but I had to chuckle when I read that they gave the girls dolls. If what is reported is true...I would have ran the other way if someone wanted me to play more house:’)
