Texas child welfare officials say more than half the teen girls swept into state custody from a polygamist sect's ranch have been pregnant.
Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar says 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 were living on the ranch in Eldorado. Of that group, 31 already have children or are pregnant.

For those who were upset with the state of Texas’ action and demanded proof...well there it is. Texas has clearly made the right decision to get those kids out of that evil compound immediately! Thank God that someone had the sense to look into this case.
To: Zakeet
Oh, but gee, we should never have taken the kids away from their parents.

When she was a freshman in high school, my daughter had a friend who was Albanian Muslim, and the girl was desperately unhappy because she knew that as soon as she was 15, she would be forced to marry one of her father’s 50-60 year old friends (her older sister had been sent back to Albania to become one of the wives of an old man there when she was 15). My daughter’s friend disappeared from school that very year. I don’t know if she was married, shipped off to Albania to be married there, or if she got up her nerve and ran away.
Think what life must have been like for these girls.

Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar says 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 were living on the ranch in Eldorado. Of that group, 31 already have children or are pregnant. According to Texas law, it is aggravated sexual assault if the father of the 17 year old girl's child is more than three years difference in age of her. The age difference doesn't matter for he 14-16 year olds, it is aggravated sexual assault in those cases, period. This has nothing to do with their religion or polygamist beliefs.

This really has nothing to do with Romney or Mormons in general, it is aggravated sexual assault of a minor. You can take all church/cult affiliation out of it and the crime would still exist.

Too bad it didn’t give the ages of the 31 pregnant females. Were they the oldest of the 53?

"Child Protective Services spokesman Darrell Azar says 53 girls between the ages of 14 and 17 were living on the ranch in Eldorado. Of that group, 31 already have children or are pregnant." 31 girls between 14 and 17 are pregnant or already have children, this would explain those bizarre interviews with the adult women where they were so evasive and would not answer questions.
