""It's a good day for them because they're out of this shelter environment and getting to more stable places," said Chris Van Deusen with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services" Oh come on. After some experience in the foster care system, and the 24/7 filth on tv which they will see for the first time in their lives, never mind being trown to the wolves in the public school system; all the horror stories they were told by their multiple parents will seem true.
It's going to be a culture shock for them no matter how you look at it.
They may or may not have been sexually active and abused before but the upset to their homelife and the culture clash they will experience of “liberation” will probably send at least some of them into a promiscuous lifestyle of bad choices and regret as they try to fill the void and seek attention and approval.

The kids might be able to write some of the scripts.
“Heather had 10 mommies”
“I was a 14 yr old bride only to share the old coot with 8 others “
“Doesn’t Everyone have have A Husband who is their 1st cousin”

Quite frankly, I would rather them experience this then the sexual abuse that they were living with in that compound. I am surprised at your disregard for this. Wow a bad TV show vs having sex with a 60 year old at age 14. Does not take a genius to figure out which is worse.

OK, a foreword, I don't have time to repeat myself but I don't care what the FLDS does as long as all laws are being met, if they are not, then arrest the perps without taking all the kids out of there. Polygamy, I don't like it myself, but I just think we have much bigger fish to fry right now plus it ain't much of a problem nor will it be.

Note IUD = IED, I was up late, and Freepin' while watching a horror movie at the same time. B-)
I think the best one to bring up what I'm going to say is Michael Savage, he was right on and I hope I can do almost as well. I can see how some religious groups like the FLDS and Moslems do react to our lifestyle (the collective "our" I mean, I know many of us here don't like the dumbing down of morality) in the U.S. when they see Hollywood, teenage pregnacies (at least the polygamist's kids are spoken for), shootings, murders for over $5.00, and so on. I think to the average Moslem, FLDS, or fill in the blank very religious group, they see themselves as protecting their people and societies from that. As Savage said, "you are not going to corrupt us, our women and daughters" with what's coming out of Hollywood. I know perhaps the meter has really swung the other way too much in the eyes of some but I cannot blame them for condemning how morally we have fallen in the US and Western Europe. I've heard stories of some (former) East German men converting to Islam because of this plus its appeal to the poor. Myself, I believe in Jesus and God so I do know better. I just think that a lot of these religious groups are a counter reaction to the filth coming out of Hollywood, Europe and so on.
Now this doesn't give anybody the excuse to fly planes into buildings, underage sex, "bleeding 'The Man'" dry, or to commit other crimes, but we do need to realize that our society has our warts too and does need a good cleaning before we can start pointing fingers.
