That will take a while. But one can hope.
Sadly, the FLDS is only one (though a particularly notorious) institutionalized inbreeding, child-rape closed society operating under a false religious banner. There are others, not as big or long-lived.
And then every other day we read about another free-lancer. Today's is:
Captive woman had 7 children by her father.
Strictly speaking, that father may have waited until his daughter was 18. But she's 42 now, has a daughter who's 19, and six other kids, some of whom have never been let out of the basement to see the light of day.
The FLDS crew aren't really all that different...
You are exactly right about other compounds. One notable group is the Mexican Mennonites. They are forming several compounds in Southern Kansas which do not vary much from this Texas group.
They are obviously inbred. They resist any formal education. They resist any TV, radio or outside influence. The child death rate is very high, there are scads of retarded and deformed children. The stature of the people is very small, more evidence of inbreeding. In a culture of six foot tall people, five foot tall people stand out. Especially when they dress different, speak a foreign language (Mexican or German) and live in compounds.
One other thing then I’m outta here.
WELFARE—THEY ARE ALMOST ALL ON WELFARE. The FLDS cannot support themselves, and they are major users of welfare everywhere they go. I am thinking that because they are all “unemployed” and receive welfare,that the state feels that they have a larger role to play in some of these decisions.
